Hi all,
I'm just trying code in HFSJ page 346-347 with a little modifications.
my code as per below
Person.java
MyServlet.java
Test.jsp
all above code compiled perfectly but when I run, it throw null pointer exception.
I realized in Person.java, I don't define name variable. Does it the cause of NPE?? but I think it should read the name from MyServlet.java when I call setName method.
What did I miss here? thank you for any reply.
regards,

The code request.getAttribute ("person") must by itself be returning null. If name were null you would see 'Person is: null' when Person is: <%= p.getName() %> is executed.
Do you have a related stack trace ? You are reaching the JSP through the servlet right ?
