I am creating a standard dynamic web project including a Servlet, a filter to filter the request and jsp pages. I am taking the number of books from the welcome.jsp and depending on the count I am populating the input boxes on the add.jsp. I want to filter the data coming through the add.jsp. When I verify data through Regex, its showing me error. Also is my flow correct i.e. from the start FILTER --> CONTROLLER --> FILTER --> PAGE and so on???
Error: java.lang.NumberFormatException: null

The code where its showing is:
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
// place your code here
boolean flag = true;
HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest = (HttpServletRequest) request;
HttpServletResponse httpResponse = (HttpServletResponse) response;
httpServletRequest.getServletPath();
System.out.println(httpServletRequest.getServletPath());
String address = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress();
System.out.println(address);
// For the first time (Welcome page) i will be 0 so that it will perform first if
if(i == 0)
{
System.out.println(i);
if(verify(address))
{
chain.doFilter(request, response);
i++;
}
else
{
RequestDispatcher requestDispatcher = httpServletRequest.getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/forbidden.jsp");
requestDispatcher.forward(request, response);
return;
}
}
// For the second time (Controller) i will be 1 so that it will perform first if
else if(i == 1)
{
System.out.println(i);
i++;
System.out.println("after ++"+i);
chain.doFilter(request, response);
}
// For the second time (add page) i will be 2 so that it will perform first if
else if(i == 2)
{
if(specialChara(httpServletRequest))
{
System.out.println(i);
System.out.println("done");
i++;
chain.doFilter(request, response);
}
else
{
System.out.println(i);
flag = false;
System.out.println(""+httpServletRequest.toString()+ "\n"+httpResponse.toString());
RequestDispatcher requestDispatcher = httpServletRequest.getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/add.jsp");
requestDispatcher.forward(request, response);
}
}
// For the third time (Controller) i will be 2 so that it will perform first if
else if(i == 3)
{
System.out.println(i);
i++;
chain.doFilter(request, response);
i = 0;
}
Its giving error on the line of forward() in the loop where i==2. What might be the issue?
