Try:
<% // I'll just use one "big" scriptlet block
String fname;
String nextName = notebookBean.getNextFirstname() ;
while ( !nextName.equals( null ) ) {
fname = nextName; // I think this is what you meant, right?
nextName = notebookBean.getNextFirstname();
// etc.
}
%>
It looks like you used = (assignment), rather than == (comparison), in your
while condition statement. Either way, I think you want to use equals()
method, as shown.
String objects are compared with equals() to show if the values are the same
and == to show if the objects are the same.
Hope this helps.
