Bug ID: 57938
Summary: HttpServletRequest.getString causes NPE when

Hardware: PC

Sample project to reproduce bug
When sending a HTML form as multipart/form-data, if allowCasualMultipartParsing
is set to True and any form field is empty, calling
HttpServletRequest.getParts() causes NullPointerException.

To Reproduce Bug:
1) Set allowCasualMultipartParsing to "true" in context.xml,
2) Create a HTML form with enctype="multipart/form-data",
3) Submit the form it to a servlet that calls HttpServletRequest.getParts(),
4) If you leave any field empty in the form you will get a NPE.
Expected Results:
Whether there is an empty field or not HttpServletRequest.getParts() should
complete without any exceptions. Empty fields should return empty Part objects.
Actual Results:
Got NPE.
Additional Information:
Whether allowCasualMultipartParsing is true or false if the servlet is
annotated as @MultipartConfig, error disappears and
HttpServletRequest.getParts() behaves as expected. But since sole purpose of
allowCasualMultipartParsing is the opportunity of using getParts() in a
ServletFilter, this is not a solution.
