Why does this code snippet put "null" string in textbox while invoking
JSP page for the first time??

Does this mean JSP returns string variable "null"
from request.getparameter() ?

<%
String name = request.getParameter("txtName");
%>



<%=name%>">

If you want to avoid this, just replace the <%=name%> by <%=(name==null?"":name)%>

Hi,

the string "null" it's the default value for a string when you try to print it. If you try this two lines:

String x = null;

System.out.println("X is " + x);

you will get the same result.
