Description

ServletRequest.getPathInfo() is allowed to return null (if there is no additional path information).

For example, IBM WebSphere returns null if the client accesses the Servlet context without a trailing slash (Jetty in this case redirects to the context path with a trailing slash and thus this case does not happen).

To prevent NullPointerExceptions from happening the FilterHandler.match and ServletHandler.match methods must guard against the uri parameter being null
