Jsp error - in tomcat

I am trying to run a jsp page which accesses Bean, which in turn uses database to access values. When I try to run the jsp page in tomcat, I get the following error.

**********
root cause

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /jsp/encylcopedia/jobNYLSystemData.jsp(5,32) jsp.error.attribute.noequal

***********

The error line # is at the beginning of a scriptlet using <jsp:useBean > tag.

Please help if anyone knows the solution. thank you.

thanks,

Here is my JSP code.


<%@ page import="java.util.*, java.io.* %>

<html>
<body>
<%
 <jsp:useBean id="myEncyclopedia" scope="session" class="encyclopedia.EncyclopediaDAO" />
 String theJob = request.getParameter("job");
 
 List theList =  myEncyclopediaDAO.getJobNYLSystemData( theJob );
 session.setAttribute("nylSystemList", theList);
 
 %>
 
 
 
<jsp:forward page = "/jsp/encyclopedia/newYorkLifeSystem.jsp" />


 </body>
 </html>

I also tried with request.setParameters, but it didn't work. It gives the same error.

and what does the class 'encyclopedia.EncyclopediaDAO' look like?

Move your useBean tag outside of your scriptlet.

This is just one method of the DAO.

I changed a few things....i closed the quotes on the <%@ page import tag. and switched back to request.setParameter and request.getParameter. and I also made the EnterpriseDAO class serializable and try to run it.
Here is the code for newYorkLifeSystem.jsp

<%@ page import="java.util.*, java.io.*, java.util.*" isThreadSafe="true" %>

Try adding the following to the top of the file:

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html" %>

Tried adding <%@ page language %> tag...still getting same errors. uggh this logic seems so straight forward and yet, fixing the errors is so difficult.

Actually those don't even appear to be from that page, they appear to be from jobNYLSystemData.jsp.

I think my first comment is correct. The scriptlet tag can't contain the useBean tag. At least that is my theory.

To syd108,
request.getParameter(("nylSystemList") will return a String object and you can't cast it to a List object.

Ty i stand corrected, for some reason i was thinking that it was an attribute on request.

Line 74 of ur compiles jsp throws a null pointer exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException
     at org.apache.jsp.newYorkLifeSystem_jsp._jspService(newYorkLifeSystem_jsp.java:74)

Check and see what is being accesed or assigned. My guess if your list if not present. You print the size of ur list size() . You can also check to see if it is null.

I figured out the answer, I had forgotten to close the quotation mark in the following statement
<%@ page import="java.io.*, java.util.*" isThreadSafe ="true" %> and in the code I was doing
 List theList =  myEncyclopediaDAO.getJobNYLSystemData("job");
instead of gettting the request parameter
 List theList =  myEncyclopediaDAO.getJobNYLSystemData(request.getParameter("job"));
and that's why I was getting the null pointer exception.

Thanks to all the people who tried to help. I appreciate it.
