I don't know if you've found the error yourself, but I think you actually
want
catch(SQLException ex) {
if (ex.equals("ORA-01920")) { <== Test the Exception, not the
SQLException Class
out.println("This username has already been chosen, please use another
username");
} else {
other things
}
}//end catch
