Getting java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "aNumber"

Question

I want to print a list of Users on JSP. This list getting captured in controller method correctly but it is not passed on to the JSP page.

Controller Method Code -

@PostMapping("/list")
    public String listCandidates(@RequestParam("list") String roType, Model theModel) {

        if(roType.equalsIgnoreCase("qualZRO1"))
        {
            List qList = adgService.getQualCandListZRO1();
            theModel.addAttribute("candlist", qList);
            return "adgSummary";
        }
}

JSP Page - I want to display the below information about candidates in a table form in JSP page. Refer below stacktrace which shows that there is NumberFormatException error with "aNumber".

<%@ taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib uri = "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" prefix= "fmt" %>

Try changing the List qList to List<your_class> qlist.

You can change the List qlist to generic.

You can change your code like List<classname> qList = adgService.getQualCandListZRO1();

insted of List qList = adgService.getQualCandListZRO1();
