patch

If servlet-class is not defined in the web.xml a NPE is being thrown when attempting to run the servlet on the server.  This occurs when running the actual servlet's Java resource file or if attempting to run using the Server model object node shown in the explorer view.  

Fix is to check for the null condition.

approve - now that we expose using a jsp mapping, we need to protect this code
