Arithmetic Exception
Hello Everyone,
I am receiving what I interpret as a 'divide by zero' error -
StandardWrapperValve[action]: Servlet.service() for servlet action
threw exception
java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
at edu.uc.cohorts.util.Util.calcCohortAllotment(Util.java:123)
at
edu.uc.cohorts.util.CohortAssignmentDB.AssignCohort(CohortAssignmentDB.java:720)
The class code for the string calcCohortAllotment is below -
string = calcCohortAllotment
string = (Ljava/lang/Integer;)Ljava/lang/String;
name = calcCohortAllotment, descriptor=(Ljava/lang/integer;)Ljava/lang/String;
class = edu/uc/cohorts/util/Util; name=calcCohortAllotment,
descriptor=(Ljava/lang/integer;)Ljava/lang/String;
string = ok
Any assistance is greatly appreciated,
Dwight

Thanks for the response; I will check the code.

"Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I do this!"
This is an error in the code of your webapp; as good as Tomcat is, it
can't correct basic programming errors in user code. The exception is
telling you exactly where to look for the problem.
You need to either check for zero before the divide, or catch the
exception in your code, or configure an error page for the situation if
you want to display something pretty to the end user.
