I am getting ServletException errors on a successfully-compiled class
MessageProcessor
(http://www.myjavaserver.com/~ppowell/docs/MessageProcessor.java ).  I
do not understand why I'm getting these errors, it's perfectly good
syntax, I thought!

[code]

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import java.util.regex.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

ChatServlet to go to

also receive all messages

* MessageCenter class instance.

Ok, overloaded constructor, all is cool, so here are the offending
scripts in chat_messages.jsp:

[code]
 MessageProcessor mp = new MessageProcessor(request, response, true);
// THIRD PARAMETER MEANS YOU WILL GET HTML
 mp.process();
 content = mp.getHTML();
[/code]

And here is the offending scripts in chat_nicknames.jsp:

[code]
  RequestParameterResetter request2 = new
RequestParameterResetter(request);
  request2.setParameter("message", "/n");
  MessageProcessor mp = new MessageProcessor(request2, response,
true);    // THIRD PARAMETER MEANS YOU WILL GET HTML
  mp.process();
  content = mp.getHTML();
[/code]

I am not understanding what is going on here and would love for some
insight.  Thanx
