我的tomcat服务器运行后，日志信息里记录着程序一直在抛出这个异常：

根据堆栈看，好象是说我的 字符集过滤类的 doFilter 方法的空值异常
但是这个类我实在是找不的参数传递的都是 容器对象，涉及到tomcat更底层支持类，我找不出解决错误的方法，请大家帮帮忙。
SetCharacterEncodingFilter.java
package filters;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.Filter;
import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
import javax.servlet.FilterConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
public class SetCharacterEncodingFilter implements Filter{
protected String encoding = null ;
protected FilterConfig filterConfig = null ;
protected boolean ignore = true ;
public void destroy(){
this.encoding = null ;
this.filterConfig = null ;
}
public void doFilter( ServletRequest request , ServletResponse response , FilterChain chain)
throws IOException , ServletException{
if (ignore || (request.getCharacterEncoding() == null)){
String encoding = selectEncoding(request);
if (encoding != null)
