xii, sei la. soh bati o olho, mas sera que vc nao ta tentando usar um objeto que vc nao instanciou?

com certeza vc ta tentando usar uma referencia nula.
vai na pasta work do tomcat dentro da pasta da sua app e procure o arquivo
index_jsp.java.
de uma olhada na linha 91 p/ ver o que tem, é nessa linha o erro.
se der posta o fonte da tua pagina.
