Thanks, Lance:
They are instantiated a couple of lines of code above my post and are
instantiated with the request parameters of their respective fields in the
JSP logon form. Besides, if parmUserid or parmPW were null (or anything
other than id or pw, respectively), program flow would bypass the <if> and
no Strings would be set and passed back to my Controller servlet (I know, I
know...design flaw, but I'm trying to learn the patterns in "Core J2EE
Patterns" and haven't made my helper beans fully functional yet).
I just posted part of the NPE stack trace JRUN is returning; it is
JRUN-specific and I don't particularly feel like going through the JRUN API
to trace the exception when I know this should be working. This is a real
puzzler.
