Try username. I'm surprised the compiler doesn't complain that username is being used without being initialized. If it didn't, the compiler probably set username to be null.
You need to pass a valid string to the method getParameter(); Try something more like: String username = null; Username = pageContext().getRequest().getParameter( "username" ); Robert S.
