I wondering what is wrong. I have that kind of constructor....


No, actually, you don't. You defined a method "start()" with void return type.
Constructors do not have return types.

package sp;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

public class start {


You chould name your classes with an initial upper-case letter:

    public HttpServletRequest r = null; // no need to specify null here


Better that the instance variable be /private/, not /public/, and don't be
afraid of longer names. /r/ is a bit too terse.

    public void start(HttpServletRequest r) { // CONSTRUCTOR CANNOT RETURN VOID


The use of the keyword /void/ makes this not a constructor. That's why you got
the error.

         this.r=r;
    }
}


Try this:

<code>
package sp;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

public class Start
{
   private final HttpServletRequest request;

   public Start( HttpServletRequest req ) // no return type
   {
     if ( req == null )
     {
       throw new NullPointerException( "null request" );
     }
     this.request = req;
   }

   public final HttpServletRequest getRequest()
   {
     return request;
   }
}
</code>
