Question

Now I have been stuck by an error which shows the following error in the Eclipse browser.The Error looks like:

13:53:12,294 INFO  [STDOUT] 30
13:53:12,294 ERROR [[Expthsmon]] Servlet.service() for servlet Expthsmon threw exception

I believe that this part of the code

int amountofnoon=0;
    int amountofafternoon=0;
    int noofnoon=0;
    int noofafternoon=0;
    String amountnoon=null;
    String amountafternoon=null;
    amountnoon=request.getParameter("amountnoon");
    amountafternoon=request.getParameter("amountafternoon");
    //if((amountnoon !=null )&&(amountafternoon !=null))

     amountofnoon=Integer.parseInt(amountnoon);
     System.out.println(""+amountofnoon);
     amountofafternoon=Integer.parseInt(amountafternoon);
     System.out.println(""+amountofafternoon);

is creating problem,where amountofnoon and amountofafternoon should be integer value.What should I do?

I am also adding the jsp part of code from where it is getting the value:

<form name="expenditurefthsmon" action="Expthsmon">
<div align="center">Enter The Amount of Days Expenditure</div>
 <div align="center"><input type="text"  name="amountnoon"></input></div>
 <div align="center">Enter The Amount of Nights Expenditure</div>
<div align="center"><input type="text" name=amountafternoon"></input></div>
 <div align="center"><input type="submit" value="Calculate"></input></div>"
</form>

Answer 1

The above code in your html misses a quotation mark for the name attribute

<div align="center"><input type="text" name=amountafternoon"></input></div>

It should be

<div align="center"><input type="text" name="amountafternoon"></input></div>

Other than that, you must never trust the input from the user and always validate it againts invalid or null values before going into your core logic.
