is name a String object? you haven't created a local class called String have you?

String value = req.getParameter(name)
getParameter returns an Object, you have to type cast it.
String value = (String)req.getParameter(name)

Hi,
By default req.getParameter("name") returns a String Object only. You don't required to type cast it.
