Note that JSP authors these days almost never actually call
request.getParameter()... they use a tag library which helps cut down on
the confusion such as this.

That's invalid Java syntax. Can you give us a few more characters around
that declaration? For instance:
<%! String theID; %>
Creates a member of the class, which will be shared across all
invocations of the JSP. If that's the case, then you've found your problem.

Not static. Just class-level instead of being declared as a local within
the body of the service method (which is what you really want).

That's because it's almost never done. It only really makes sense when
you want to declare a method for use within the class. Declaring class
members this way usually leads to tears.

You just want to remove the !, actually. The declaration is probably
required.
