I can't comment on this specific issue, but I would like to say that any error 
that says "This should never happen"...um...should never happen.  :)  I don't 
really know the details on how error handling works in GeoServer, so perhaps 
this is a way of putting a ribbon on NullPointerExceptions?

Anyway, I would much prefer (and I think others may as well) that the "This 
should never happen" error be changed to a bit more diplomatic:

"We're sorry, but GeoServer has encountered an error that we weren't expecting."

Sorry to hijack the thread...

P.S.  Any Sierra On-Line game fans here from way back?  I think my aversion to 
terse errors may come from years of typing things like "climb tree" or "take 
drink" yielding "How can you do that?" in response...  :/


Thanks,
