can stringToProxy return nil pointer?

[andhow]

It looks like exceptions get thrown when this function doesn't work. Is there any situation where an exception would not get thrown, however the function returns a nil pointer?

i.e. is this accurate?

ObjectPrx base = communicator()->stringToProxy("...");
assert(base);

Thank you

It would return null if you pass it an empty string, i.e., the string representation of a null proxy is an empty string.
