Description

Normally, using <html:error /> will work properly. But when using the html-el
taglib (with JSTL expression language), a NullPointerException is generated.

Normally, the name property defaults to Globals.ERROR_KEY, but when processing
the evaluateExpressions() method in ELErrorsTag.java, the value seems to be
getting set to null. Putting a null check for setName() in ErrorsTag.java
seems to make the problem go away.
