记录两次空指针问题的解决方案

以前看到空指针问题总感觉束手无策，不知道怎么定位和解决，然而通过一直以来的的努力，终于知道了该怎么处理。

            Model model
    ) {
        GithubUser user = null;
        Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
        for (Cookie cookie : cookies) {
            if (cookie.getName().equals("token")) {
                String token = cookie.getValue();
                user = userMapper.findByToken(token);
                if (user != null) {
                    request.getSession().setAttribute("user", user);
                }
                break;

            }
        }
        if (user == null) {
