proposed fix to avoid NPE
Minimal files to reproduce this issue:
1) create a directory named test and deploy it under webapps
test
├── WEB-INF
│ └── web.xml
├── error.html
└── test.html
the web.xml is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="3.0">
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/test.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/error.html</location>
</error-page>
</web-app>
2 ) start tomcat and visit http://localhost:8080/test/abc.html
The exception is thrown as follows:

The exception is not user-friendly, and somehow misleading. From the stack
trace, user is likely to consider it as a tomcat bug.
The solution might be adding url-pattern /error.html to the default servlet, or
just change the url-pattern to match all the html resources.
My suggestion is to avoid such NPE and tell user what to do.
I have attached a proposed fix against trunk.
