<%
int iLf = 10;
char cLf = (char)iLf;
File outputFile = new File(generate.xml);
outputFile.createNewFile();
FileWriter outfile = new FileWriter(outputFile);
outfile.write(" <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> "+cLf);
outfile.write(" <playlist version='1' xmlns = 'http://xspf.org/ns/0/' > " +cLf);

         { 
              // outfile.writeln (sports[i]); 
              String total=sports[i];
              String[] sa=total.split("[,]");
              // String[] sub=new String();
              outfile.write("<track>"+cLf);
              for (int j=0;j<sa.length;j++)
              {

                // outfile.writeln("sa["+j+"]="+sa[j]);
                if( j == 0)
                {
                     outfile.write("<location>" + sa[0] +"</location>"+cLf); 
                }
                else if (j == 1)
                     {
                        outfile.write("<image>" + sa[1] +"</image>"+cLf); 
                     }
                     else if( j==2)
                          {
                            outfile.write("<title>" + sa[2] +"</title>"+cLf);
                          }

               }// end of inner for loop()       
               outfile.write("</track>"+cLf);
         //outfile.writeln();
      }// end of outer for()
    } 
    //else outfile.writeln ("<b>none<b>");

  outfile.write(" </trackList> "+cLf);
  outfile.write(" </playlist> "+cLf);
  outfile.close();

  %>

The exception thrown is

An error occurred at line: 7 in the jsp file: /sports3.jsp
generate.xml cannot be resolved to a type
4: <%
5: int iLf = 10;
6: char cLf = (char)iLf;
7: File outputFile = new File(generate.xml);
8: outputFile.createNewFile();
9: FileWriter outfile = new FileWriter(outputFile);
10: outfile.write(" <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> "+cLf);

please tell me how to rectify.

generate.xml needs to be in quotes. It doesn't see it as a string, it thinks you mean there's an object called "generate" with an "xml" property.

wow this is just unreadable !

the guilty line is 

File outputFile = new File(generate.xml);

assuming generate.xml is the file name, you need to quote it as it is a String

File outputFile = new File("generate.xml");

File outputFile = new File(generate.xml);

I guess generate.xml should be within double quotes, atleast that's my two cents.

Seriously, please format your code so that it appears better, otherwise its too tough to read.

I'd say the culprit was

File outputFile = new File( generate.xml );

I suspect you probably want to wrap that string in quote marks (""), otherwise it'll be treated as an identifier, which the runtime won't know anything about.
