 note The full stack traces of the exception and its root causes are available in the GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 3.1.2.2 logs.

plz any one solve this

The names "haroon" and "hussain" are not Java symbols, and you are no programmer. This is a very unfortunate way to get started here. You invested no time in formatting your question, expect people to spend no time answering it. — reechard, Sep 21 '12 at 05:10

You are using variable haroon and hussain and you've never declared them in the JSP. The compiler cannot find the variable anywhere in the generated servlet code.

I strongly discourage writing scriplets (unless you're doing this for learning purposes) for these well known various reasons.

On that note, if you are passing a variable onto you JSP page, and you want to save it to your DB, something like this suffice:

<%
    String haroon = request.getParameter("haroon");
    String hussain = request.getParameter("hussain");
%>

(Add the tag before doing the DB connection). You can now pass the value by append 2 parameters (haroon and hussain) on your URL (which calls the JSP).

In my case I was attempting to initialize a TreeSet in a jsp.

TreeSet<String> treeCategories = new TreeSet<>();

This will get: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: PWC6033: Error in Javac compilation for JSP||PWC6199: Generated servlet error... because of the "diamond" or "<>".

I do not recall the exact java terms or usage but <> is some sort of a template or generic or something like that when java really needs, at least in my case, to know what it is:

TreeSet<String> treeCategories = new TreeSet<String>();

That will work.
