Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi,

I have written a Servlet to get my user's information using a session bean with the following:

String userName = request.getParameter( "j_username");
if((userName != null) && !(userName.equals(""))) {
try{
ejb.userMethodRemote user = lookupuserMethod();
out.println("User's info for user. " + userName + ": " + user.getUserInfo(
Character.parseChar(userName)));
}catch(javax.ejb.FinderException ex){
out.println("Customer with nr. " + userName +" not found");
}
}

where my business method in my session bean is:

public String getUserInfo(char user_name) throws javax.ejb.FinderException {
ejb.UsersLocal user = usersHome.findByPrimaryKey(new Character(user_name));
return "First Name: " + user.getNameFirst() + "Last Name: " + user.getNameLast() + "Address: " + user.getAddrLn1()
+ "City: " + user.getCity() + "E-mail: " + user.getEmail();
}

In my servlet I get a "cannot find symbol" error with:

Character.parseChar(userName)

Could someone tell me how to resolve this problem, please???

Thank you,

(sorry if the it looks quite stupid...I am new to java!!)
