The first way to solve this is to have a look in your test.jsp and determine if there are any obvious problems which could cause NullPointerException to be thrown. If you can't find any, then there are a couple of ways to continue: You could look at the test_jsp.java (if your server is configured to keep the java source files generated from jsp pages), but the generated java sources are not the easiest pieces of code to read. Alternatively you could start commenting our parts of your test.jsp code until the error goes away. When the error goes away, you've located at least something that affects the problem - and can narrow down your search from that point on. -- ..Juha --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
