I want to run easy registration jsp page with servlet. And it throw this error message:
description The server encountered an internal error that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
java.lang.NullPointerException

It couldn't extract from request parameters. From my easy checking it prints:
Request fields: null null null null null
I couldn't figure out why this happen?
Any suggestions?

In here:
if (ValidationUtils.isNullOrEmpty(lastName)) {
registrationErrors.add(ValidationErrors.LAST_NAME);
}
if (!ValidationUtils.isEmailValid(email)) {
registrationErrors.add(ValidationErrors.EMAIL);
}
you check for null or empty value on lastname, but in isEmailValid you don't check for empty value. Something like this should do
if (ValidationUtils.isNullOrEmpty(email) || !ValidationUtils.isEmailValid(email)) {
registrationErrors.add(ValidationErrors.EMAIL);
}
or better yet, fix your ValidationUtils.isEmailValid() to cope with null email values. It shouldn't crash, it should just return false.
