****************************************************************
The user is unknowingly creating a "null value" URL pattern.
When creating the list of URL Patterns, on the last entry, the
user is typing in the value of the URL Pattern.  The user then
is hitting Apply, then OK.  This in turn creates an extra null
value URL pattern that the user cannot see in the gui.
When a save is done, an exception is being thrown.  After being
set, the get method was returning null which corrupted the jar
file containing the bean.
*************************************************************
