How do I handle null in switch statement in java?

For example when I have class like this:

With this example when I try to compile it I have 2 compilation errors from Intellij Idea:

  • Dereference of 'name' will produce 'NullPointerException'
    screenshot:

  • Constant expression required

The question is - what is the correct way of handling the null in switch statement in java?

I know that I can use if statement, but what about switch with null?
