       Create a simple JAX-RS resource endpoint with a @FormParam parameter and do an http POST without Content-Type header.

      @POST
@Consumes(Constants.FORM_URLENCODED_UTF_8)
@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
public String handleTokenRequest(@FormParam("my_param") String myParam) {
   return myParam;
}

      An http form post without a "Content-Type" header causes a NullPointerException in org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.BaseHttpRequest.getFormParameters.

      While it is probably okay to throw an exception, it is very hard to figure out the reason for a NullPointerException deep in the implementation.
