identifier expected error

hi all

i'm trying to get my start with small application since got struck in bigger prob.package com.mycompany.messages.action;

import java.io.IOException;

import java.io.*;

//import com.mycompany.message.bean.sambean;

publicclass samaction

{

//BeanName obj = (BeanName) form // here form is a parameter passed in Action execute method.

javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request = (javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)javax.faces.context.FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();

String comb = request.getParameter("myform:combo");

System.out.println(comb);

//sambean bea = new sambean();

public String getSuc(){

System.out.println("hi");

return"success";

}

}

its pointing at comb and saying identifier expected
