Description: An invalid seaarch request like the following throws an NPE:
http://jawa.gbif.org:8080/checklistbank-search-ws/search?q=Bedouin&ff.checklist=d7dddbf4-2cf0-4f39-9b2a-bb099caae36c

Catch those errors and convert them into an IllegalArgumentException so we get a http 400 instead]]>

This would be the correct url:
http://jawa.gbif.org:8080/checklistbank-search-ws/search?q=Bedouin&facet=CHECKLIST&ff.CHECKLIST=d7dddbf4-2cf0-4f39-9b2a-bb099caae36c

Should we make facet params case insensitive?

Comment: Facet params are now case insensitive
