    Default Getting Error in code pls help

    I am getting the inputs "distance" and "service " from a previous html page and passing the values here to calculate "estimateamt" and pass the calculated "estimateamt" to a jsp page "service2.jsp" using session attribute

    package packk;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.sql.*;
    import javax.servlet.*;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;



    public class query2 extends HttpServlet {


    protected void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
    response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
    PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();


    String s=request.getParameter("distance");
    String tr=request.getParameter("service");
    try{

    long d=Long.parseLong(s);

    HttpSession sess=request.getSession();

    sess.setAttribute("distance",s);
    sess.setAttribute("service",tr);




    String op1,op2,op3,op4,op5,op6;
    op1="Intra City Relocation";
    op3="Inter State Relocation";
    op5="Intra State Relocation";
    op2="Intra City Moving";
    op4="Inter State Moving";
    op6="Intra State Moving";

    long ea=0;

    sess.setAttribute("estimateamt",ea);


    if(d<=250)
    {
    if(tr.equals(op1))
    {
    ea=d*10;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op2))
    {
    ea=d*5;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op3))
    {
    ea=d*20;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op4))
    {
    ea=d*10;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op5))
    {
    ea=d*20;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op5))
    {
    ea=d*15;
    }
    }
    else if(d<=500)
    {
    if(tr.equals(op1))
    {
    ea=d*10;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op2))
    {
    ea=d*5;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op3))
    {
    ea=d*20;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op4))
    {
    ea=d*10;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op5))
    {
    ea=d*20;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op5))
    {
    ea=d*15;
    }
    }
    else if(d<=1000)
    {
    if(tr.equals(op1))
    {
    ea=d*10;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op2))
    {
    ea=d*5;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op3))
    {
    ea=d*20;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op4))
    {
    ea=d*10;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op5))
    {
    ea=d*20;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op5))
    {
    ea=d*15;
    }
    }
    else if(d>1000)
    {
    if(tr.equals(op1))
    {
    ea=d*10;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op2))
    {
    ea=d*5;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op3))
    {
    ea=d*20;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op4))
    {
    ea=d*10;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op5))
    {
    ea=d*20;
    }
    else if(tr.equals(op5))
    {
    ea=d*15;
    }
    }
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {

    }

    response.sendRedirect("service2.jsp");





    }





    }

    @@@@@@@@@@@@ this is the end of the servlet .Now the service.jsp is given below


    <%
    HttpSession sess=request.getSession();

    String dist=(String)sess.getAttribute("distance");
    String transport=(String)sess.getAttribute("service");
    String amt=(String)sess.getAttribute("estimateamt");
    %>
    <html>
    <body background="images\wall2.jpg">

    <b> Shifting distance:<%=dist%><br><br>
    <b>Shifting Type:<%=transport%><br><br>
    <b>Estimated Amount:<%=amt%><b><br><br>

    </td>
    <br>

    <br>

    <br><br>
    <br>
    </table>


    </table>

    </body>


    </html>

    Now when i run the servlet i am getting an error as follows :

    message

    descriptionThe server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

    exception

    org.apache.jasper.JasperException: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Long cannot be cast to java.lang.String
    root cause

    java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Long cannot be cast to java.lang.String

    I understand that the error has something to do with the estimate amount calculation and conversion of String to Long related..but i could not resolve the problem ..kindly help me where to make changes in the code or where i have done wrong..i am just a beginner...

    java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Long cannot be cast to java.lang.String
