Hello i am currently picking up jsp to extend my knowledge of web languages. I am currently trying to connect to a database but i keep getting a weird error on the index page where i verify conditions for the authentication.jsp page.
Parts of Code Below:
index.jsp
<div id="sidebar">
<%
if(request.getParameter( "login" ) == null){
%>
<%@ include file="includes/authenticate.jsp" %>
}
<%
else{
out.println("<h2>Welcome</h2>");
%>
<%@ include file = "includes/menu.jsp" %>
<%
}
%>
</div>
authenticate.jsp
if(request.getParameter("login") == null){
%>
<form action="authenticate.jsp" method="POST">
<table align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="2">Authenticate</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">Username:</td><td><input type="text" name="username" size="9"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">Password:</td><td><input type="password" name="pass" size="9"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="2"><input type="submit" value="Log in" name="login"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
%<
}
else
ProcessForm();
%>
i get this error though
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP:

29: <%
30: if(request.getParameter( "login" ) == null){
31: %>

33: }

35: else{

I feel the error has to do with the syntax for the include, but i dont see another way of doing it. I was positive that closing the regular jsp field and inputing the import jsp field then opening another regular field would work.
