Description

The following error occurs in when I run my application.

----------------------------
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.xml.serializer.ToHTMLStream.processAttribute(ToHTMLStream.java:957)
at org.apache.xml.serializer.ToHTMLStream.processAttributes(ToHTMLStream.java:1644)
at org.apache.xml.serializer.ToHTMLStream.endElement(ToHTMLStream.java:883)
at org.apache.xalan.templates.ElemLiteralResult.execute(ElemLiteralResult.java:708)
----------------------------

My application is big, I cannot provide my application as testcase. However, I do know the reason for this failure. I will provide a patch that provide a more reasonable error message rather than NullPointerException.
