Null pointer in org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector that did not happen in 
org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector

           Summary: Null pointer in
                    org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector that did not
                    happen in
                    org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.18
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Connector:Coyote HTTP/1.1

Not sure whether this is a bug or not, but it is different than it was in the 
older version of the http connector...  In a test.jsp file with the 
org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector this code works fine

<%
    String passwordFormField = null;
    request.getParameter(passwordFormField);
%>

but with the org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector it blows up with a null 
pointer exception.  It happened in my case because the String passwordFormField 
was actually initialized from a properties object, which was returning null.  I 
added a check to the code to make sure the String in not null on my end to fix 
it, but it took me a while to find the problem because it used to work fine on 
the old connector and the root cause of the exception was just 
java.lang.NullPointerException with no stack trace.
