> Unfortunately, I haven't figured out the exact cause of the issue; however, the fix provided brings our system back to how it used to work.
> When expression is passed in a null, a NPE is thrown @:
> int start = expression.indexOf(lookupChars, pos);
> {code}
>         Object result = expression;
>         int pos = 0;
>         for (char open : openChars) {
>             int loopCount = 1;
>             //this creates an implicit StringBuffer and shouldn't be used in the inner loop
>             final String lookupChars = open + "{";
>             while (true) {
>                 int start = expression.indexOf(lookupChars, pos);
>                 if (start == -1) {
>                     loopCount++;
>                     start = expression.indexOf(lookupChars);
>                 }
> {code}
> Here is the fix I'm using in a locally built class file:
> {code}
>         Object result = expression = (expression == null) ? "" : expression;
>         int pos = 0;
>         for (char open : openChars) {
>             int loopCount = 1;
>             //this creates an implicit StringBuffer and shouldn't be used in the inner loop
>             final String lookupChars = open + "{";
>             while (true) {
>                 int start = expression.indexOf(lookupChars, pos);
>                 if (start == -1) {
>                     loopCount++;
>                     start = expression.indexOf(lookupChars);
>                 }
> {code}
> I can see about 10 different ways to 'fix' the issue, but this keeps the change to a single line since I don't entirely understand the workflow of what's going on.
> FYI, it seems to have something to do with validate="true" on the form and when there are fields to validate which have nested getters, aka:
> <@s.hidden key="myFakePatternHolder.pattern.id"/>
