Yes, better to use an empty string.

Perhaps something is catching the exception and logging it or even just
ignoring it.

The debugger is definitely your best friend. It has handy things like
exception breakpoints (see the toolbar in the title area of the
Breakpoint view), so you can set a breaking whenever a
NullPointerException is thrown. That will help you determine what's on
the call stack and how that exception is being handled by the things on
the call stack.

The debugger supports hot replace so often you can change the code and
keep running...
