Win 95b, Apache 1.3.9, Apache Jserv 1.1b3, webmacro 0.89.1
>Description:
Webmacro servlet throws a NullPointerException on init. 
May be connected with bug no 3329

>How-To-Repeat:
It only affects webmacro servlets, /jserv/ and /servlets/IsItWorking are fine.
Maybe its my fault. 
Sorry if it is.
>Fix:
Commenting out lines 548 to 560 in JServServletManager.java did it for me.
I think that NullPointerException should be being ignored, but am not worthy to 
suggest such.
