Hi First check if your ename is ename or EName ...some times this might be a problem...
Then before assigning into the variable...just do like if (request.getParameter("ename")!=null && !request.getParameter("ename").equals("")) String name=request.getParameter("ename"); just be sure that your ename has got value....once again..just for cross checking.. Happy programming... Yogaraj -----Original Message----- From: Vaishali S.
