Filter throwing java.lang.NullPointerException

Hello,

The Filter I'm trying to write is throwing a java.lang.NullPointerException error.

Following is the code from doFilter:

HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) servletRequest;

HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);

ServletContext servletContext = session.getServletContext();

The 3rd line is what is throwing the error as session is null.

Thanks.
