There won't necessarily be a null pointer exception. That would only happen if some rule is executed that tries to invoke a method on that object on the stack. However it does look rather odd. I can't think of a good reason for pushing a null onto the stack, particularly *after* parsing is complete. Can you provide the full package name for this class (and tomcat version) so I can have a look at the tomcat code for myself?
