I just install my tomcat and test it working successfully. I write a jsp page, it always has problem: http 500 error...can anybody help me out???
===============================
here is my jsp code
===================================
<%@ page language = "java" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
<%@ page import="sei.*" %>

<%!
String phono = new String();
String time = new String();
String message = new String();
%>
<%
phono = request.getParameter("phone");
if( phono.startsWith("+")) {
phono = phono.substring(1);
}
if( phono.startsWith("86") ){
phono = phono.substring(2);
}
time = request.getParameter("timestamp");
message = request.getParameter("message");
//System.out.println("Time&date"+time);message = request.getParameter("message");
System.out.println("(SEIJsp ) Rec Frm Phno ["+phono+"] and Msg is ["+message+"]");

Send2SMSEngine SSE = new Send2SMSEngine();


/*
ControlClass control = new ControlClass();
String newMessage = control.processMessage(message);
//
*/
Analyzer analyzer = new Analyzer ();
analyzer.doAnalyze(message);
String ad = analyzer.getAddress();
if (!ad.equals("")){
String adc = analyzer.checkAdd(ad); //adc the the address retrieve from database
if (adc == "NA") {
SSE.sendSMS(phono,"ERROR: Can not find your address '" + ad + "'");
}
else {
//SSE.sendSMS(phono,"ERROR: Can not find your address '" + ad + "'");
// System.out.println("address validation -------- passed!");
if (analyzer.checkDate()) {
// System.out.println("date validation -------- passed!");
analyzer.setAddress(adc);
String dateq = analyzer.getDate();
int callid = Integer.parseInt(phono);
Schedule sdu = new Schedule();
sdu.addJob(adc, dateq, callid);
}
}
}


//SSE.sendSMS(String PhoneNumber, String Message)
// SSE.sendSMS(phono,"You have sent "+ message +"@" + time +" whatever");

What's on line 55 of ang_jsp.java?
That's where your NPE is.
Look under TOMCAT_HOME/work/Catalina/localhost/YOUR_APP/org/apache/jsp

Also, with your next post, include your version of Tomcat and your JDK version.

[Ben Souther]

Also, you're going to run into some thread saftey issues with this code.

<%!
String phono = new String();
String time = new String();
String message = new String();
%>

This block is going to create instance variables which can be changed by any thread at any time.

Did you have a reason for declaring them this way?
