environment.  closing this bug, opening a bug regarding ssl.

You didn't handle the null return here.  That means that this method can
easily return null, which will cause an NPE in other code.  Either don't
pass in anything, pass in an Exception, or handle the null case.
                                                                     
                                                                     
                                                                     
                

Looks like the first RuntimeException already was changed to an
IllegalArgumentException.

Also, the second issue is not an issue -- two lines later, a check to
see if 's' is null is performed (which can happen either if there is
no sessionId at all, or if the lookup failed and returned a null).
