Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi,
I have a web app that starts with a file upload page that uses commons io fileUpload, passes the info on to a servlet. Then the servlet passes its info on to a JSP.

I can upload the file onto the web app successfully. I also can call that uploaded file directly from the JSP (i.e. bypassing the servlet) without problem. But if I try to chain all 3 together while passing the url for the file directly as an attribute or as a bean containing file's url, I get premature end of file or can't find the property in the bean. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

the error message:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Premature end of file.

Code from the servlet:

String dName = "http://localhost:8084/fileUploadApp/faces/";
url = dName + fileName;
beans.FileInfo.setFileName(fileName);
request.setAttribute("fileInfo", new FileInfo());
beans.FileInfo.setDName(dName);
beans.FileInfo.setDirName(dirName);
beans.FileInfo.setUrl(url);
File saveTo = new File(dirName + fileName);

//if I use the next 2 lines I get "can't resolve symbol - create field, local var or parameter FileInfo"
FileInfo fileInfo = new beans.FileInfo();
request.setAttribute("fileInfo", FileInfo); //error here

request.setAttribute("myUrl", url);
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/clinTrialsEditor.jsp");
dispatcher.forward(request, response);

on JSP
<jsp:useBean id="fileInfo" class="beans.FileInfo" scope="request"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="fileInfo" property="*"/>
<%--<c:import url="http://localhost:8084/fileUploadApp/faces/lowVision.xml" var="url" /> --%> <c:import url="${myUrl}" var="url" />
<x:parse xml="${url}" var="clin" />

etc...x:set with xpath expressions

Can anyone spot my error(s)?

Thanks for the help!
