Could you kindly help me regarding this issue.
I have a login jsp which accepts username and password.
The login.jsp feeds a bean. The action class takes values from the bean and if
password is equal to " password " it goes to Success.jsp through action forward.
My issue is when I call the page i.e login.do then
it goes directly to action class without showing the login.jsp page.
It then gives me null pointer exception.
