Ok, so what's next? Sometimes you are getting a null when you expect
data, right? Well, are you only getting null when the request is a GET?
POST? Or is it something else?

If you wanted to get cute, you could implement this
one-parameter-to-rule-them-all strategy as a Filter which wraps the
request and provides a simpler getParameter interface to your webapps.
Instead of this:

String everything = getParameter("everything");
String specific = parseSpecific(everything);

You could have your webapp code simply do this:

String specific = request.getParameter("specific");

... then the request wrapper does all the work to gather the parameter
information from the right place, decode it, and return the data to the
caller.
