code snippet...

The following snippet works without a problem:

try
{
        ...

        ReferenceDataBean ref = new ReferenceDataBean();
        ref.connect();

        session.setAttribute("resultsbean", ref);


getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/idpayCreateDist.jsp").forward(req
uest, response);
}

But when I make the reference bean a member of the servlet class, allocating
with new in the init() function, I get a null exception.

try
{
        ...

        session.setAttribute("resultsbean", ref);       // ref is a class
attribute


getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/idpayCreateDist.jsp").forward(req
uest, response);
}

Does anyone know why?
