TitleFrame_jsp.java
Line 66: String sShowLanguage = session.getAttribute("showlanguage").toString();

Please be sure, "showlanguage" is present in the session before taking it out.

Thanks Sumit.I will check where the "showlanguage" is set in session.

Try breaking up the code to see exactly what's happening:

Simply add a test for null before attempting to call "toString()", or any other method on that object.

As far as what to do for null, that's up to you. Sometimes a default value or empty string is appropriate, sometimes you need to raise an exception (maybe send the user back to the form?)

And, of course, you shouldn't be putting Java code into a JSP in the first place.
