Hi Jyothi,
When you first request the
jsp file
1. jsp converted to servlet and in service attribute jyothi placed.
2. and in response html form sent.
3. your request ends here.(that means your request,response objects gone).
secondly when user submits the form
1. control reaches servlet
2. tries to find jyothi in request scope.
finally gives up return null.
