package com.your.code;

public class BrokeFilter implements Filter {
  public void toFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
FilterChain chain) {
    chain.doFilter(null, null);
  }
}

Tomcat is going to throw an NPE somewhere down the line, yet the bug is in
application code.

Yes, Tomcat could protect against this kind of thing, but adding thousands of
null-checks to things that obviously shouldn't be null isn't a good use of time
in a high-performance server.
