Hello Ajit, There is not a need to declare a saperate String variable "name" here. The mistake you had done in the "ForumHome.jsp" is, while showing value of any java expression on the jsp page output you have to use <%= %> and you have used <% %>. So if you made the following change in the "ForumHome.jsp" then also it will work Welcome <%= request.getParameter("user");%> Note: Consider I am using "<%=" here. - Dhananjay
