my servlet code is

and jsp code is

suggest the corrections...

Java is case sensitive. I believe "arraylist" should be "ArrayList".

Correction 1: remove all Java code from the JSP. SCriptlets were fine 10 years ago. This is 2011. Time to step up to modern standards using the JSTL and EL.

Failing that, of course arraylist is a problem, This is Java, case counts! And even when you fix that, you will have further problems.

The bottom line is that Java code does not belong in a JSP!

[Edit:Ah, Tom snuck in before me!]

this java class is used in servelet and looking at servlet code above can you tell the appropriate jsp code

Please be sure to use code tags when posting code to the forums. Unformatted or unindented code is extremely hard to read and many people that might be able to help you will just move along to posts that are easier to read. Please click this link ⇒ UseCodeTags ⇐ for more information.

Properly indented and formatted code greatly increases the probability that your question will get quicker, better answers.

Also, it is not clear to me what the servlet code has to do with your JSP issues.

the servlet is passing an array to jsp
well thats all stuff is being used in a complete tomcat application
this is required
user clicks on a color in html page and a request is sent to servlet which uses java code for decision on tea brand and finally jsp is there to print the result to happy user and jsp page is not executing so suggest a valid jsp code which will work

Now that I can see your code, it makes little sense. Your servlet emits an HTML page and then also forwards to a JSP? What's the point of that? You can only return one response per request. Do you want to return the HTMl generated by the servlet, or do you want to return the HTML generated by the JSP? It makes no sense to do both.

And in the same way that a JSP shouldn't contain Java code, a servlet shouldn't emit HTML. Each the servlet and the JSP has their own job. The servlet should process data and prepare it for the JSP, which should only concentrate on creating the view (HTML page) and do so without embedded Java code.
