Hi, In main.jsp i wish to display the data from the database( user information stored in user table ). my codein main.jsp is: <h2> description about user:</h2> <% Statement st = null; ResultSet rs = null; rs = st.executeQuery("Select description from user "); %> <option value = "<%=rs.getString("description")%>" > </option> when i run the above code it shows the error: java.lang.NullPointerException org.apache.jsp.main_jsp._jspService(main_jsp.java:72) like at above red color line can anybody have solution for above or any alternative code. Thanks and regards Haresh
well you are calling the method on an object (st) reference set to NULL doesnt make any sense to me that code is going to throw a NullPointerException.
