I hope you read my and Kevin's replies. You should always check for null on
target variables for getParameter() method before calling any method on
them. Otherwise you will get NullPointerException if the parameter is
optional and not selected on the form or not supplied in the query string.
Use
if (name != null && name.trim().length() > 0)
{ do_something;}
else
{ do_something_else;}
