New JSP user looking for help with error message

[Guest_imported]

Hi folks,<br><br>I'm somewhat new at using JSP and am having a tough time debugging the programs because the error messages are for a different "level" of code. You know what I mean. <br><br>Anyway, the two messages I keep getting are:<br><br>/web/ibm/was.2.03adv/servlets/pagecompile/_SpacemanReports/_UserReport2_xjsp.java:137: Can't specify array dimension in a declaration.<br> data[0].writeChars(1495, 1, out);<br> ^<br>/web/ibm/was.2.03adv/servlets/pagecompile/_SpacemanReports/_UserReport2_xjsp.java:137: Identifier expected.<br> data[0].writeChars(1495, 1, out);<br> ^<br>Perhaps some of you more experienced JSP programmers can at least point me in the right direction concerning what parts to look at. <br><br><br>Oh and here's my code, if you're interested:<br><br>%@ language="java" import="java.util.*" %<br><br>h3 Spaceman User Reports<br><br>HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);<br><br>String message=(String)session.getValue("Message");<br><br>// ResultSet is used to check if the user has requested anything yet<br>ResultSet rs=(ResultSet)session.getValue("ResultSet");<br><br>if (message != null) { % h4 %= message % /h4 <BR> % }<br>session.putValue("Message","");<br><br>// If RecordSet is null then just display opening form.<br>if (rs == null) {<br><br>%<br> form method="POST" action="/servlet/UserReportServlet2"<br>center<br> table border=0 cellspacing=0 width=100%<br>tr<br>td align=right width=25% Employee Serial No: /td<br> td input type=test name=empsn size=10 /td<br> /tr<br>/table<br>input type=submit name=submit value=Submit<br>/center<br>/form<br><br>%br}<br><br>// If RecordSet is not null, display the results held within it<br><br>else {<br> try {<br> ResultSetMetaData rsMeta=rs.getMetaData(); %<br> table border="2" cellpadding="3"<br> tr<br><br>// display the Column Headings:<br> % for (int i=1; i=rsMeta.getColumnCount();i++) { %<br> td h4 %= rsMeta.getCoumnName(i) % /h4 /td <br> % } %<br> /tr<br><br> % while (rs.next()) { %<br> tr<br> % for (int i=1; i =rsMeta.getColumnCount();i++) { %<br> td %= rs.getObject(i) %/td<br> % } %<br> /tr<br> % } % /table<br> %<br> rs.close();<br> rs=null;<br> session.removeValue("ResultSet");<br> } catch (Exception any) { % An Error occured. %= any.getMessage() % % }<br>}<br>}<br>%<br><br>Thank you,<br>beckyg

Becky,<br><br>Sorry I made a mistake and messed up the formatting for all of your code.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you want, just re-post your code as a REPLY to your question.<br><br>Sorry about that again...<br><br>Dave

I can't seem to repost the page, it is picking up the html and translating it.&nbsp;&nbsp;But that's okay, if someone could just give me an idea of what might be wrong, or general things to look more closely at, that might be all I need to get me over the hump.<br><br>Thanks again,<br>beckyg
