What does this error message mean?

[M.L. Jackson]

I'm on a Windows machine running mapscript 4.6.0-beta1.

Shp2img runs on it fine.  The map file is a map of the United States of 
America with a rivers layer, states layer, and wms layer.

I'm running a JSP script.  Yes, I have run a similar script on Tomcat.  The 
script prints an interactive map legend using a Java Bean print method call.

The Java Bean method looks like this:
public String makeLegend()
{
String layerName = "";

int layerCount = map.getNumlayers();

String legend = "";

//check the layer for a space which will cause problems and display error 
message
for(int i = 0; i < layerCount; i++)
{
  layerName = map.getLayer(i).getName();
  if(layerName.contains(" ")){
legend += "<br><br><i><b><font color = red size = 2>The layer name \"" + 
layerName +
	    		             "\" contains a space character and will not function 
correctly!!<br>" +
	    		              "Find the layer in the map file and remove the space, 
then " +
	    		              "reload the application.</font></b></i>";
	    		   return legend;
  }
}

//generates html for check boxes
legend = "   <form name = \"legendForm\">";

for(int i = 0; i < layerCount; i++)
{
layerName = map.getLayer(i).getName();

legend += "\n         <input type = \"checkbox\" onclick = handleBoxes(\"" + 
layerName +   "\")" +
					" name = \"" + layerName + "box\" checked>" + layerName.replace("_", " 
")  + "</input><br><br>";
}

legend += "\n      </form>";


return legend;
}

Hope this is somewhat clear.  Thanks.
