I started learning Java recently and I am facing lot of simple but irritating issues. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the problem in vain.
I am trying to run a simple registration (with 3 pages) and submit the values into a DB. I am getting `NullPointerException` and not sure how to proceed with debugging any help will be greatly appreciated.
`form1.html`
Form details:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="./registration" method="get">
Name:<input type="text" name="name"><br/>
Father Name: <input type="text" name="fname"><br/>
Mother Name: <input type="text" name="mname"><br/>
<input type="hidden" name="formd" value="1"/>
<input type="submit" value="Next>>>">
</form>
</body>
</html>
`form2.html`
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="./registration">
Contact:<input type="text" name= "contact"><br/>
Email: <input type= "text" name= "email"><br/>
Address: <input type ="text" name= "address"><br/>
<input type="hidden" name= "formd" value="2"/>
<input type= "submit" value="Next>>>">
</form>
</body>
</html>
`form3.html`
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="./registration">
Qualification:<input type="text" name= "qualification"><br/>
Percentage: <input type ="text" name= "percentage"><br/>
<input type="hidden" name= "formd" value="3"/>
<input type= "submit" value="Submit!">
</form>
</body>
</html>

I forgot to add Web.xml. please see below. If i use Dynamic web module version 3.1,i read that we do not need web.xml. Can i still use it? http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5"> TestAadharRegistration AadharRegistration AadharRegistration controller.AadharRegistration AadharRegistration /registration

From Console in eclipse:
