2nd JSP file

I keep on getting some error or the other..........could you please help me.......where am I mistaking! Please help

Step 1: Move the Java code out of the JSP and into a Java class. Do it now. Java code in a JSP has been discredited for almost 10 years now and its use is irresponsible.

Step 2: Once you've done that, if you still get errors, please be sure to post the nature of the errors.

But I have kept here 2 JSP files and a Java file separately

Please read this article for information on properly structuring web applications.

Java has no place inside a JSP. That is an extremely poor practice that went out of favor in 2002.

Please help me out.......I can't figure out where the problem is............please help

I've added code tags to make your post readable. I can't find where you say what the error is. Can you call attention to that so people can help you?

Here is the details of the error I am getting:

type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/7.0.8 logs.

They are giving the error:

Name was not previously introduced as per JSP.5.3

Where is the problem???

Moving back to the JSP forum as this is a JDBC question.

Reposting the relevant lines to make it easier to read.
<%@ page import="jdbc.try1" %>
<jsp:useBean id="try1" scope="application" class="jdbc.try1" />

Where is the class file for try1 located? Is it already defined in the application scope?

Note that it is common convention for classnames to begin with an uppercase letter.

class file for try1 is located inside WEB-INF\classes\jdbc

I had made some modifications........like some silly programming errors in the jdbc portion which I did eradicate........still get the error:

The value for the useBean class attribute jdbc.try1 is invalid.

The new files are as follows:

myfirst.jsp

try1.java

package testing;
import java.sql.*;
public class try1 {
private String username;
private String userage;
private String userquali;

try1()
{
username="";
userage="";
userquali="";
}

public void setUsername(String name) throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException
	{
		this.username=name;

}
	public String getUsername()
	{
		return username;
	}

public void setUserage() throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException
	{
		Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
		Connection conn=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@Agnit-PC:1521:devdb","system","bababobby");
		Statement st=conn.createStatement();
		ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery("select age from a where name='Agnit'");
		userage="";
		rs.next();
		this.userage=(rs.getString(1));

}

public String getUserage()
{
	return userage;
}
public void setUserquali() throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException
	{
		Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
		Connection conn=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@Agnit-PC:1521:devdb","system","bababobby");
		Statement st=conn.createStatement();
		ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery("select quali from a where name='Agnit'");

rs.next();
		this.userquali=(rs.getString(1));

}

public String getUserquali()
{
	return userquali;
}
}

properties.jsp

I had intentionally put the try1.java file in a new package called testing. The other two files are jsp files

Make your class's constructor public, otherwise the container is not be able to instantiate it....

Thanks to everybody out there who helped me out.............It's finally done!!! My first JSP program using JDBC.feels great.
