This page returns the error :
C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0\work\Standalone\localhost\_\tax\tax40saleshist ory_jsp.java:135:
illegal start of expression
I have narrowed it down to
<% while (rs.next()){
<% } %>
causing the problems. If I remove these two lines, the page loads
fine, but with only one line of data.
I have used the same syntax on a different page, but cannot now get
this page to work. Thanks for any assistance.
Page Code Below:
<% Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"); %>
<% java.sql.Connection db =
java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:we bodbc","user","pw");
%>
<% java.sql.Statement st = db.createStatement(); %>
<% java.sql.ResultSet rs; %>
<% String stComplete=request.getParameter("address"); %>
<% String stParcel=request.getParameter("parcel"); %>
<% rs=st.executeQuery("pEQGetPastSales '" + stParcel + "';"); %>
<% rs.next();
String pn= rs.getString(1);
String salesdate= rs.getString(2);
String salesprice= rs.getString(3);
%>
