Could not include the whole step definitons code here stack overflow warning me that i added too much code

  Feature: Validate Web Form
  Scenario: Validate User is able to fill form using json Data File
   Meta-data: {"dataFile":"resources/env1/data.json","description":"Data driven test that uses 
   json file to provide data"}

      Given user is on clevermedia web form 
      When user enters first name '${firstname}' from json data file
      And user enters last name '${lastname}' from json data file
      And user enters zipcode '${zipcode}' from json data file
      And user enters message '${message}' from json data file
      And user clicks on submit 
      Then user should be able to submit form successfully 

Step Definition - all feature file test steps are defined in the below step definitions QAFTestSteps.

TestNG Configuration for Test Execution

  <!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
   <suite name="QAF Demo" parallel="methods" verbose="0">
   <test name="QAF-BDD-Test">
      <parameter name="step.provider.pkg" value="com.qmetry.qaf.clevermedia.steps" />

  </test>
  </suite>

Does anyone see an error in my step in implementing the Data Provider ? why am i getting this error? All feature file steps are defined or have the corrosponding QAFTestStep. Testng configuration for the test execution included above also appears to correct.
