Interestingly, if I change the code to this:

    def getSelectedTag(tags: List[Tag], cookieName: String, urlParam:
String) : Tag = {
        var t : Tag = null

        if(tags.length == 0) {
            return null
        }

        try {
            // See if tag name is present in the URL
            val tagName = getParamValue(urlParam, "")
            // If yes, check if a tag with this name is present in
tags
            t = findTagWithName(tags, tagName)
            // If it is, write out the right cookie and return
            if(t != null) {
                return t
            }

            // if no, check the corresponding cookie
            val cv = getCookieValue(cookieName, "")
            if(cv != null) {
                // and check if the tag with a name stored in cookie
is present in tags
                t = findTagWithName(tags, cv)
                if(t != null) {
                    return t
                }
            }

            // otherwise just select the last tag from the list and
write out the cookie
            t = tags.last
            return t
        } finally {
            var c = HTTPCookie(cookieName, t.name).setMaxAge(365 * 24
* 60 * 60)
            S.addCookie(c)
        }
    }

it also compiles OK. I don't feel comfortable with the change, though,
since List could contain a null, which tags.last would gladly return.
