I’m creating a registration form for my web application and I’m getting the following error when I try to access register a new user:
java.lang.VerifyError: (class: eBooks/Data/UserDB, method: <init> signature: ()V) Constructor must call super() or this() java.lang.VerifyError: (class: eBooks/Data/UserDB, method: <init> signature: ()V) Constructor must call super() or this()

I’m new to web development and I just need a push in the right direction to fix this issue.
I’m using glassfish and mysql.
Just fixed the problem – moved all the files to a new project and manually created the web.xml and it’s is working fine now. Thanks @ErnestFriedman-Hill
