    Default Any one pls tell answer quickly....

    Hi,

    When a direct visitor comes to our site, we are unable to maintain cookies and session. For example, when visitor comes to our site for the first time, we get a null pointer exception. This is not happening when there is a return visitor to our site. Any idea why this could be happening?

    Each page has a body tag. On loading the body tag, we don't get session values. We are getting only a null pointer exception (this is happening for a first time visitor only). When the same visitor comes back to our site, we are not getting a null pointer exception, and it seems to work fine.



    <%Pattern p = Pattern.compile( "([0-9]*)" );
    Matcher match=p.matcher(session.getAttribute("zip").toStri ng());
    if(match.matches()){%>
    <body bgcolor="#778899" onload="change(),zipValid('<%=session.getAttribute ("zip").toString() %>')">
    <%}else{ %>
    <body bgcolor="#778899" onload="change()">
    <%} %>

    <%
    String zipSes=session.getAttribute("zip").toString();
    String locationss=request.getParameter("id");
    if(locationss==null){

    locationss=zipSes;
    %>



    Basically, whenever a visitor comes back to our site, we are trying to pre-fill the zip code field with the zip code they last searched with. If they are searching during the same session, then we are trying to pre-fill the zip code with which they searched previously.

    Well a null pointer is what you would expect the first time, right? I mean, if no cookies exist for the user, the zip code will naturally be null.

    Well the problem is that there are no cookies. The only solution here (as far as I can think of) is to take into account the case when no cookies exist and give zip code some sort of value to work with.
