I am trying to run a relatively simple jsp page but I am getting the following error :
HTTP Status 500 -
type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
exception

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/7.0.19 logs.The jsp page is the following :
<html>
<head>
<title>Professional JSP 2, 4th Edition</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="projsp.css">
</head>
<body>
<jsp:useBean id="date" class="com.apress.projsp.DateFormatBean"/>
<h2>Today's Date is <%= date.getDate()%></h2>
</body>
</html>and the class source code is the following :
package com.apress.projsp;
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.*;
public class DateFormatBean implements java.io.Serializable{
private DateFormat dateFormat;
private Date date;
public DateFormatBean() {
dateFormat = DateFormat.getInstance();
date = new Date();
}
public String getDate() {
return dateFormat.format(date);
}
public void setDate(Date date) {
this.date = date;
}
public void setFormat(String format) {
this.dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(format);
}
}All files are in their proper position and ant was used to compile the project.
Tomcat version 7 is also used.
Thank you.
