Thanks alot for looking. Frustration!!
Well I came back to it after rebooting and it suddenly seemed to work - but strangely enough, not always!
The first time I ran it after rebooting, I got the compile error only if I pressed submit when the fields were blank. But then I gave them a value="" (and took it away again), and now I don't get any compile errors.
Usually it works now, but what really puzzles me is that it sometimes just doesn't do anything at all when I press submit. I can't see any pattern to it. Does this sometimes happen with jsps and if so, what's the likely cause?
Here's the whole of my jsp, in case you're interested:
<html>
<head>
<title>Login</title>
<link type = "text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
<jsp:useBean id = "user" scope = "session" class = "sonia.beans.UserBean" />
<jsp:setProperty name="user" property="*"/>
</head>
<body>
<%= user.getUserName() %>
<%= user.getPassword() %>
<%= user.getCountry() %>
<%= user.getStatus() %>
<%
if (request.getParameter("submitted") != "null")
{
user.findUser();
}
%>
<%= user.getUserName() %>
<%= user.getPassword() %>
<%= user.getCountry() %>
<%= user.getStatus() %>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<div align="center">
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<form method="post" action = "login.jsp" name="login">
<input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="t">
<p>Please enter your user name and password:</p>
<table>
<tr>
<td>User Name</td>
<td>
<input type = "text" name = "userName" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password</td>
<td>
<input type = "password" name = "password" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan = "2" align="center">
<input type = "submit"
value = "Log-in">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
