Hi everyone
I  `m writing a bean application to execute sql query.The query properties in 
the Bean works perfect.I have a jsp with textArea where the user can enter 
query.The query is the required parameter that the Bean should execute.

snippet
...
<Form    Method=GET ACTION="" >
  <Textarea  name="display" value="this.value"  >    </Textarea> 
   <Input    type=submit Value="Send">
</Form>

<jsp:useBean id="myBean" class="com.Database" />
<%!   String query = request.getParameter("display") ;  %>

<%  
if(!query.equals("") || !query.equals(null))
  {
              String selector = (query.substring(0,6)).trim();
              out.write(selector);
              if(selector.equals("SELECT")){
                   out.write(myBean.getData());
              }else
                if(selector.equals("INSERT")){
                   myBean.setData(query) ;
                }else
                if(selector.equals("DELETE")){
                  myBean.setDelete(query);
                }
                else
                   out.write("nothing is entered");
        }
%>
...
My problem is when the jsp page is requested for the first time
 I got this error:
cannot find symbol variable request.
I know I should have null for  request.getParameter("display")  at first access 
and that is caugt.If I  submit the form then the content of the textarea should 
be 
request.getParameter("display") .That was what I was expecting.

Can anyone help
Thanks in advance
