Re: [jetty-users] NPE due to EL 3 - <c:if test="{nonExisting}> ?

I manually patched  javax.servlet.jsp-2.3.2.jar   which was in Jetty 9.1.3.   to work around this issue.   In Jetty 9.2 I believe they will switch from glassfish to tomcat for these classes.

I could supply the patched jar it if thats the same version as in jetty 9.1.4...

Hi together,
after updating the Jetty to the newest 9.1.4 version, in order to support my Spring4/Java 8 web app, I run into a strange NPE problem. 

I get this error:
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.apache.jsp.views.secured.report.create_002delement_002dfragment_jsp._jspx_meth_c_if_0(create_002delement_002dfragment_jsp.java:315)

	at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:473)

If I am right, the problem is the el-3 library, which will treat null values in a different way. I found some issues in bug tracking systems for Tomcat, Glassfish and even in Jetty – but I was not able to figure out, how to solve this problem. 

I want to avoid writing: 
<c:if test=„${not empty nonExisting && nonExisting}“>

Is there anything I can do in order to not modify the existing JSP files?

Best
