             Summary: NullPointerException on /search-filter without field param
                 Key: DS-1210
                 URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1210
             Project: DSpace
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Discovery
    Affects Versions: 1.8.2, 3.0
            Reporter: Nestor Oviedo


When a user issues a request to "/search-filter" without the "field" parameter, 
a NullPointerException is thrown. This is because the 
"org.dspace.app.xmlui.aspect.discovery.SearchFacetFilter" class takes this 
parameter from the request and just uses it, whitout checking if it is null 
first.

A possible fix to this would be to add a setup() method to the 
SearchFacetFilter. This method should check for any param called "field" and 
throw an exception when there is no parameter with that name. This exception 
should be handled in the sitemap and a 400 "Bad request" status should be 
returned to the client.
