Unless you can show exactly where the NullPointerException (I am assuming you understand what this is) occurs, it is very difficult to offer much in the way of guidance. You will probably need to step through your code with the debugger until you find the offending variable.

[EDIT] Having looked again at your code I suspect you are using the wrong values in your request.getParameter(); calls. For example you have coded request.getParameter("First Name"); but I think the actual name of the variable is "fn", as specified in the JavaScript (of which I am no expert). [/EDIT]
