When they click on submit it goes to my front.jsp which has the following code(front.jsp is actually FrontController.java changed in web.xml):

  31.          session.setAttribute( "error", strError );  
  32.  
  33.          RequestDispatcher dispatcher = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher( "/register.jsp" );
  34.          dispatcher.forward( request, response );

Ahhhhh, it is meant to be beans.Counter. I looked at my folder name. I don't know about you but sometimes when programming in general you don't always see your own mistakes, therefore it is always good to ask somebody else as they might have a different view. Thanks for you'r help and sorry if i have caused any inconvience.
