I think the problem is setting of set or get method for variable password in servlet.
how do I proceed

Possible causes:

• user doesn't have a "setPassword(String)" method. Please verify the method exists, and indeed takes a String as parameter
  
• test.PasswordService.getInstance().encrypt(String) does not return a String. Please make sure the encrypt method takes a String, and returns a String.

please can you illustrate with an example on how to set and return the string for variable password in servlet
thanks
