hi Dipali,

Please carefully look at the stack trace it shows the error at

at com.otto.lisa.web.NewUserForm.validate(NewUserForm.java:434)

.. Post the code for the NewUserForm.java.

The error line is mentioned. Post some more info with code.

Thanks for the reply Jatan

Here is my code for NewUserForm.java




As per your suggestion i checked at

if (this.getPassword().trim().length() < 8) {
if (errors == null)
errors = new ActionErrors();
errors.add("securepassword",new ActionError("newuser.securepassword"));
}


I did following changes as well

else if (this.getPassword().trim().length() < 8) {
if (errors == null)
errors = new ActionErrors();
errors.add("securepassword",new ActionError("newuser.securepassword"));
}

else if (!this.getPassword().matches(upperCaseChars)) {
if (errors == null)
errors = new ActionErrors();
errors.add("securepassword",new ActionError("newuser.securepassword"));
}



but at the end it is giving following error...........

Hi Dipali,

at jsp_servlet.__newuser._jspService(__newuser.java:510)

Check the generated java file for the jsp newuser. It's giving error at line 510. Now error has shifted to jsp from userform.

Search where you should look for the generated java file of jsp in tomcat .

Regards
Jatan

Hi,

Can you post code for jsp and _jsp(a jsp converted to servlet) .. then i might be able to answer as error is clearly stating the line number... Again check the java class file for the jsp page.


Regards
Jatan
