Hi,
I am dropping this note after spending hours trying to figure out why
my webapp encounters an NPE trying to obtain a param from request.
Scenario:
Moving an old web app from JRun to Tomcat 5.5.23. The app uses custom
taglibs that provide for user authentication and login and this is
where I am encountering the issue. When I try and input the username
and password in the Login form for the admin console and submit it, I
get the following error (and trace).
Much appreciate if anyone can shed some light, or have any suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Rahul

Also, here is the relevant snippet from the taglib handler
implementation which is blowing up on the first call to
pageContext.getRequest ().getParameter (username).
----- quote ----
username = pageContext.getRequest ().getParameter (username);
System.out.println ("param : 'username' , value: '" +
username + "'");
password = pageContext.getRequest ().getParameter (password);
System.out.println ("param : 'password' , value: '" +
password + "'");
logout = pageContext.getRequest ().getParameter (logout);
System.out.println ("param : 'logout' , value: '" + logout + "'");
