Not sure if there is any serious effort to fix 
there NullPointer, ArrayIndexOutofBounds etc 
exceptions . for version after version now they 
just keep popping up every few minutes you use 
the IDE !!
Comment 1 pzajac 2003-11-10 16:43:10 UTC 
reassigned to tomcat module
Comment 2 Pavel Buzek 2004-01-15 04:40:28 UTC 
next time do not put stack traces into comments, create an attachment
instead

this issues is no more relevant in tomcat5 and j2eeserver/3
