Your underlying problem is the exclamation mark at the start of your
scriptlet. This makes the jsp ompiler put free standing code into the
init method or creates methods on the servlet that you can call within
your jsp. Without the exclamation mark the compiler inlines the
scriptlet into the _jspService() method, which is the behaviour you require.
So, you should have:
<% String query = request.getParameter("display") ; %>
instead of
<%! String query = request.getParameter("display") ; %>

I `m writing a bean application to execute sql query.The query properties in
the Bean works perfect.I have a jsp with textArea where the user can enter
query.The query is the required parameter that the Bean should execute.
snippet

[input]

<%
if(!query.equals("") || !query.equals(null))
{
String selector = (query.substring(0,6)).trim();
out.write(selector);

out.write(myBean.getData());
}else

}else
if(selector.equals("DELETE")){
myBean.setDelete(query);
}
else
out.write("nothing is entered");
}
%>
...
My problem is when the jsp page is requested for the first time
I got this error:
cannot find symbol variable request.
I know I should have null for request.getParameter("display") at first access and that is caugt.If I submit the form then the content of the textarea should be
request.getParameter("display") .That was what I was expecting.
Can anyone help
Thanks in advance
