The servlet spec defines that request.getParameter() returns null if the parameter wasn't passed to the page. However, it would appear that Jasper chokes on this case. Since JSPs are an extension to servlets shouldn't the behavior be the same? If I hacked the URL to pass in all the parameters for the page when the page is compiled, will I get this error with future acceses when, theoretically, Jasper isn't involved anymore?
