What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Create a Session 2. getDatabase() a non-existant database

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

getDatabase() should return null as documented.

Instead it throws net.sf.json.JSONException: JSONObject["error"] is not a JSONObject. at net.sf.json.JSONObject.getJSONObject(JSONObject.java:2139) at com.fourspaces.couchdb.CouchResponse.<init>(CouchResponse.java:90)

This is probably because CouchDB returns {"error":"not_found","reason":"missing"} where response["error"] is no JSONObject

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

SVN trunk, Arch64 Linux, CouchDB 0.7.2

The attached patch seems to fix the error (at least the only failing unit tests are related to NullPointerExceptions and ad-hoc views)
