Sounds like perhaps you got it running, but my point was that unless you were
particularly careful, the <if> statement itself could be throwing a NPE:
if (parmUserid != null && parmUserid.equals(id) ... )
would be the safe way to do that check.
Or ensure that parmUserid was not set to null earlier:
String parmUserid = request.getParameter("userid");
if (parmUserid == null) parmUserid = ""; // or something useful
