Null check in an enhanced for loop

Question

What is the best way to guard against null in a for loop in Java?

This seems ugly :

if (someList != null) {
    for (Object object : someList) {
            


        

Answer 1

With Java 8 Optional:

for (Object object : Optional.ofNullable(someList).orElse(Collections.emptyList())) {
    // do whatever
}
