    System.out.println("inside getfname");
    return fname;
}
public void setfname(String fname) {
    System.out.println("inside getfname");
    System.out.println("the firstname set is "+fname);
    this.fname = fname;
}
public String getlname() {

    return lname;
}
public void setlname(String lname) {
    this.lname = "lname";
    System.out.println("the lastname set is "+ lname);
}
/*public String getMstatus() {

    if(fname!=null){
    return "profileuploaded";
    }else{
        return "error";

    }
}
}

Answer 1

Your Getters and Setters are wrongly named.

They must be camelCased for example if you have a property named

private String fname;

you must have the following accessors / mutators:

public String getFname() {
    return fname;
}
public void setFname(String fname) {
    this.fname = fname;
}

with the uppercased F.

To prevent this kind of errors, use the IDE to generate them; in Eclipse, press ALT SHIFT S then Generate Getters and Setters
