Java - 空对象 & 属性值为null

import lombok.AllArgsConstructor;
import lombok.Data;
import lombok.NoArgsConstructor;

@Data
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
public class Teacher {
    private String name;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Teacher teacher = new Teacher();

    if (null == teacher) {
        System.out.println("null");
    } else {
        System.out.println(teacher.toString());

        System.out.println("not null");

        if (teacher.toString().length() == 0) {
            System.out.println("empty content");
        } else {
            System.out.println("not empty content");
        }
    }
}

执行main()，打印结果如下：

Teacher(name=null)
not null
not empty content

尽管实例teacher没有对属性赋值，属性值是默认值(null)。但是teacher是通过new生成的对象，teacher就不可能是null。

空对象不同于对象的属性值为null！
