        Key: PLUTO-73
    Summary: PortletControlParameter incorrectly encodes null values as "null"
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Major

    Project: Pluto
 Components: 
             portal driver
   Versions:
             Current CVS

Description:
org.apache.pluto.portalImpl.core.PortalControlParameter encodes null parameter values as the String "null".  This means that if a render parameter is set with a null value, the request.getParameter("paramName") will return the String "null" rather than a null value.

This is why the test portlet throws an exception when you click the "Return to index" button.

I am attaching a patch to PortalControlParameter that checks for null before trying to encode the parameter.
