Calling CloudEventMessageConverter.toMessage() with null MessageHeaders (as done by RabbitMessagingTemplate#convertAndSend) caused a NullPointerException in MessageBuilderMessageWriter.putAll(null). Added a null-guard in the constructor so null headers are treated as empty, preventing the NPE. Also adds regression test fromCloudEventWithNullHeaders.

Summary
Fixes a
NullPointerExceptionthat occurs whenCloudEventMessageConverter.toMessage()is called withnullMessageHeaders— a scenario that happens when usingRabbitMessagingTemplate#convertAndSend(String, Object)(and similar Spring messaging templates that don't supply headers).Root Cause
CloudEventMessageConverter.toMessage()passes theheadersargument directly tonew MessageBuilderMessageWriter(headers). Inside the constructor,this.headers.putAll(headers)was called unconditionally, throwing an NPE whenheadersisnull.Fix
Added a null-guard in the
MessageBuilderMessageWriter(Map<String, Object> headers)constructor so that anullinput is treated as an empty map, while CloudEvent attributes are still written correctly.Test
Added regression test
fromCloudEventWithNullHeaderstoCloudEventMessageConverterTeststhat callsconverter.toMessage(event, null)and asserts the returned message contains the correct CloudEvent headers.All 9 tests in
CloudEventMessageConverterTestspass.Closes #689
