Below are softwares installed in my PC:

Below is the content of the deployment descriptor -web.xml:

The database wordgames above is located at the directory below:

To activate the Scramble Game Servlet, using a Web Browser, I entered the URL below:

When I clicked the Word Scramble above, errors below occured:

What do errors above mean? What should I do to correct those errors so to run this Web application with database in my PC? Can anybody there help?
Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

this is the most important part to look at:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at sl314.domain.WordCategoryDAO.selectAllCategories(WordCategoryDAO.java:38)
NullPointer means that you tried to access something on an object which had not been asigned yet, ie the reference was null. For example you get it when you do this:
String myString;
myString.toString();
when you need to make myString into something before you call a method. ie
String myString = new String("Hallo");
myString.toString();
look at line 38 of WordCategoryDAO because you have an error like this!
