if (request.getParameter.equalsIgnoreCase("andrew")){
request.getParameter() is a method of the Request interface. You are referencing it
as if request.getParameter as if it was an instance variable. Methods need
parentheses, instance variables do not. I am guessing what you want is -
if ( request.getParameter("username").equalsIgnoreCase("youname")) {
right?????
Watch out for a null pointer here!
