An exception occurred processing JSP page, array list

I’m not able to figure out this problem.

My error:

I’m not sure what I did wrong, but I think that it is something about the definition of the bean.

I appreciate every attempt to help!

Answer

Here’s what I did to get your app running.

FolderStructure(image of folder structure) ApplicationExample(App running example)

Create 2 new Java Packages

(1)Servlet (2)lists

add 2 classes to lists (1)Visit.java (2)VisitListVariables.java add 1 class to Servlet (1)Servlet.java

Inside Visit.java

package lists;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;


 public class Visit{
      public static List<VisitListVariables> BuildVisitList(){

        List<VisitListVariables> BuildVisitList = new ArrayList<>(); //creates List to return
        try{
          //Database connection variables
          //Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres", "postgres", "password");
          //Statement stm;
          //stm = conn.createStatement();
          //String sql = "Select * From Customer";
          //ResultSet rs;
          //rs = stm.executeQuery(sql);


            //while(rs.next()){
              VisitListVariables buildList = new VisitListVariables(); //Gets variables needed for list
              //String visitDate = rs.getString("visitDate"); 
              String dateOfTheVisit = "today";
              buildList.setDateOfTheVisit(dateOfTheVisit);
              buildList.setCategory("Doctor Visit");
              buildList.setIdClient("666");
              buildList.setIdInsrurer("999");
              buildList.setIdDoctor("1001");
              buildList.setIdVisit("001");
              buildList.setAccepted("yes");

              BuildVisitList.add(buildList);
            //}
            //rs.close();stm.close();conn.close();

        }catch(Exception e){}




        return BuildVisitList;

      }
    }

Inside VisitListVariables.java

package lists;

public class VisitListVariables {
    private String dateOfTheVisit;
    private String category;
    private String idClient;
    private String idInsrurer;
    private String idDoctor;
    private String idVisit;
    private String accepted;

  public String getDateOfTheVisit() {
    return dateOfTheVisit;
  }

  public void setDateOfTheVisit(String dateOfTheVisit) {
    this.dateOfTheVisit = dateOfTheVisit;
  }

  public String getCategory() {
    return category;
  }

  public void setCategory(String category) {
    this.category = category;
  }

  public String getIdClient() {
    return idClient;
  }

  public void setIdClient(String idClient) {
    this.idClient = idClient;
  }

  public String getIdInsrurer() {
    return idInsrurer;
  }

  public void setIdInsrurer(String idInsrurer) {
    this.idInsrurer = idInsrurer;
  }

  public String getIdDoctor() {
    return idDoctor;
  }

  public void setIdDoctor(String idDoctor) {
    this.idDoctor = idDoctor;
  }

  public String getIdVisit() {
    return idVisit;
  }

  public void setIdVisit(String idVisit) {
    this.idVisit = idVisit;
  }

  public String getAccepted() {
    return accepted;
  }

  public void setAccepted(String accepted) {
    this.accepted = accepted;
  }


}

package Servlet;

   */
  protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
          throws ServletException, IOException {

      List<VisitListVariables> visit = Visit.BuildVisitList();
      request.setAttribute("visitParam", visit); // Will be available as ${visitParam} in JSP
      request.getRequestDispatcher("/test.jsp").forward(request, response);

  }

          throws ServletException, IOException {
    processRequest(request, response);
  }

  /**
   * Returns a short description of the servlet.
   *
   * @return a String containing servlet description
   */
  @Override
  public String getServletInfo() {
    return "Short description";
  }// </editor-fold>
