Incorrect values of escapeXml in actionURL result in confusing NullPointerException in JBoss Portlet Container
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBPORTAL-2440
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-2440
             Project: JBoss Portal
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Portal Core
    Affects Versions: Portlet-2.0.1
         Environment: Any
            Reporter: Bernard de Terwangne
            Priority: Minor


JSR-286 states that escapeXml defaults to true. This value is almost never appropriate. If you forget to set it to false explicitly (very common mistake) you get a very confusing and little explicit NullPointerException.

I suggest to throw a more explicit exception so that developpers don't loose a lot of time wondering why their apps don't work. I can provide the fix if requested.
