I have created the following .html and .jsp files, but i am not able to run the jsp file:

HTML file: 
---------- 
This html program calls the jsp file. 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> 
<HTML> 
<BODY> 
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="bean/SaveName.jsp"> 
   What's ur name? <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="name"><BR> 
   What's ur age? <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="age"><BR> 
   What's ur email address? <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="email"><BR> 
   <INPUT TYPE="submit"> 
</FORM> 
</BODY> 
</HTML> 
 
JSP file: 
--------- 
 
<jsp:usebean id="user" class="com.UserData" scope="session"/> <jsp:setProperty name="user" property="*" /> 
<HTML> 
<BODY> 
You entered <BR> 
Name: <%= user.getName() %><BR> 
Email: <%= user.getEmail() %><BR> 
Age: <%= user.getAge() %><BR> 
</BODY> 
</HTML> 
 
Bean Class: 
----------- 
package com; 
public class UserData { 
  String name; 
  String email; 
  int age; 
 
  public void setName(String name) { 
    this.name = name; 
  } 
 
  public void setEmail(String email) { 
    this.email = email; 
  } 
 
  public void setAge(int age) { 
    this.age = age; 
  } 
 
  public String getName() { return name; } 
  public String getEmail() { return email; } 
  public int getAge() { return age; } 
}

I am able to call the HTML file successfully but when i click on the Submit button i get the following error.
