CHAPTER 3 HF SERVLETS & JSP --- result.jsp compilation issues

Hi there

Is there anyone who had the same issues I am having with chapter 3 of the Head First Servlets & JSP book?

Currently really struggling to compile the following JSP as per example on page 87 of the book.

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

<html>
<body>
<h1 align="center">Beer Recommendations JSP</h1>
<p>

<%
List styles = (List)request.getAttributes("styles");
Iterator it = styles.iterator();
while(it.hasNext()){
out.print("<br>try: " + it.next());
}
%>

</body>
</html>

It is returning the following exception, (I am pasting the root cause):

root cause

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP

An error occurred at line: 8 in the jsp file: /result.jsp
Generated servlet error:
The method getAttributes(String) is undefined for the type HttpServletRequest

org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.javacError(DefaultErrorHandler.java:84)
org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.javacError(ErrorDispatcher.java:328)

Thanks

we don't have request.getAttributes(String) method, but we have public java.lang.Object getAttribute(java.lang.String name) method.

Just remove an extra 's' and hope the JSP will compile

Thank you so much. I think I need a break... :-p
