Java Applications

  1. Using the java programming language we can develop different types of applications, and they are:
    • Stand Alone Applications:
    • Standalone applications are also known as desktop applications.
    • These applications has to be installed in every manchine.
    • It can execute only in a single machine where it is installed.
    • The installation/uninstallation of application is specific to a client.
      Mobile Applications:
    • An application which is created for mobile devices is called a mobile application.
    • Currently, Android and Java ME are used for creating mobile applications.
    • The mobile applications can execute only in that platform for which they are developed.
      Web Based Applications:
    • An application that runs on the server side and creates a dynamic page is called a web application.
    • These applications are also called as client server applications.
    • Currently, Servlet, JSP, Struts, Spring, Hibernate, JSF, etc. technologies are used for creating web applications in Java.
    • Web application
  2. Every web based application require 2 types of softwares, and they are: 1) Client Software, 2) Server Software.
  3. Client Software: It can be any browser that we use in our machine like internet explorer, chrome, firefox etc. Every operating system will provide one default browser.
  4. Server Software: These servers are available in the market like tomcat, weblogic, glassfish, websphere etc.
  5. The user will send the request to the server by using the client software, the server software will receive the request and process the request and then send the response to the client.
  6. A web based application consists of web resources (html, images, css, js files etc) and web components (servlets and jsp).
  7. To make the communication between client and server in a application we use a protocol called HTTP.
  8. The web based application that we develop are classified into Static web application and Dynamic web application.
  9. Static: The Application which won't be changed from person to person and time to time , such type of response is called as Static. Ex: Loginpage, Registrationpage etc. [html]
  10. Dynamic: The Application which is varied from person to person and time to time, such type of response is called as Dynamic. Ex: Inbox, BankBalance etc. [servlet, jsp etc...]


Servlet

  1. Servlet API is a part of JEE API, Servlet is an API for developing web based application.
  2. The servlet is a server side technology using which we can develop applications, which run on a server.
  3. The servlet API is pprovided to the programmer in the form of two packages.
    • javax.servlet
    • javax.servlet.http
  4. Developing a servlet application means implementing the Servlet Interface either directly or indirectly.
  5. A servlet program can be developed in 3 ways :
    • A servlet program can be developed by implementing Servlet Interface.
    • A servlet program can be developed by extending GenericServlet class.
    • A servlet program can be developed by extending HttpServlet class.
  6. javax.servlet package : Used to develop protocol independent servlets [Generic].

  7. javax.servlet.http package : Used to develop Http protocol based servlets.

Servlet Interface

  1. The Servlet interface belongs to javax.servlet package and it contains the following 5 methods which has to be implemented.
  2. Methods of Servlet interface :
    • public void init(ServletConfig) : This method will be executed only one time, when the servlet object is created or when the first request is sent to the servlet.
    • public void service(ServletRequest, ServletResponse) : This method is the main method to perform the actual task i.e it will contain the business logic. The servlet container calls the service() method to handle requests coming from the client and to send the response back to the client. The service method checks the HTTP request type (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc) and calls doGet, doPost, doPut, doDelete, etc which is appropriate.
    • public void destroy() : This method is executed only one time, when the servlet is destroyed.
    • public ServletConfig getServletConfig() : This method returns an object of ServletConfig.
    • public String getServletInfo() : This method returns the description about the object.

Explanation :

GenericServlet Class

  1. A GenericServlet is a protocol independent Servlet that should always override the service() method to handle the client request. You may create a generic servlet by inheriting the GenericServlet class and providing the implementation of the service method.
  2. Methods of Servlet interface to override:
    • public void service(ServletRequest, ServletResponse) : This method is the main method to perform the actual task i.e it will contain the business logic. The servlet container calls the service() method to handle requests coming from the client and to send the response back to the client.
Procedure to create a GenericServlet using Eclipse :
  1. First we have to create a folder with the name of ProjectName under that folder we can create all our files like java, html, css etc...
  2. After opening the Eclipse first click on File and move to New and then select Dynamic Web Project.

  3. GenericServlet

  4. In that window First we have to enter our ProjectName and then we have to select our Target Run Time which means server where we are executing our project. In our case our server is Apache Tomcat v9.0, and then select Dynamic Web Module Version which is the latest one, in this example 4.0 is the latest one. And click on next button 2 times.

  5. GenericServlet2

  6. In the next step on the Web Module section select Generate web.xml deployment descriptor, and then click on Finish.

  7. GenericServlet3

  8. On the Left side under Project Explorer we can see our Project Folder with the name of our Project.

  9. GenericServlet4

  10. In that Folder we can see many sub folders, in that some folders are very Important. Java Resources is the very important folder where we can create our files under src folder.

  11. GenericServlet7

  12. Under WebContect folder one more important folder is WEB-INF folder, in that we have web.xml file, with the help of web.xml file only we can call our servlets. By using web.xml file only we can add welcome-file which means the webpage will call whenever we execute the program. [For example index.html, default.html, etc...]

  13. GenericServlet8 GenericServlet6

  14. If you want to create any file like class, Enum, Interface, Package, HTML, jsp, Servlet simply right click on the project folder move to new and select which file you want to create.

  15. GenericServlet5

  16. In our example first we are creating a HTML file and copy the below code into that html file. While creating html file enter file name as index.html, automatically all html files are created under WebContent folder only and then click on Finish.
  17.   index.html
    ---------------------
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>First Generic Servlet</title>
    </head>
    <body>
      <form action="FirstGenericServlet" method="get">
        <input type="text" name="fnum"><br>
        <input type="text" name="snum"><br>
        <input type="submit"/>
      </form>
    </body>
    </html>
    
  18. In this html file we are creating a Form to accept values from the user. By submitting this form it will call FirstGenericServlet because we are using action attribute and calling that servlet. In this we are using method="get" which means we are submitting values through URL.

  19. GenericServlet10

  20. Create a Servlet with the name of FirstGenericServlet and copy the below code into that file. At the time of creating Servlet if you want to create any package enter that package name, here i'm using co.in.kothaabhishek, and we have to select super class in this we are creating GenericServlet so we have to select GenericServlet as super class by clicking on Browse and search as GenericServlet and select that one. After that click on Next button two times.

  21. GenericServlet11

  22. Next a windows will appear with the name of Create Servlet in this we can select which methods we want to override. In this example i want to override service() only, so i selected service() and clicked on Finish button.

  23. GenericServlet12

      FirstGenericServlet
    ---------------------------
    package co.in.kothaabhishek;
    
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.PrintWriter;
    
    import javax.servlet.GenericServlet;
    import javax.servlet.ServletException;
    import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
    import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
    import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
    
    @WebServlet("/FirstGenericServlet")
    public class FirstGenericServlet extends GenericServlet {
      private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    
      public void service(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        int firstnum = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("fnum"));
        int secondnum = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("snum"));
        
        int sum = firstnum + secondnum;
        
        response.setContentType("text/html");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        out.print("The sum of two numbers : " +sum);
        
      }
    
    }
     
  24. We have created a HTML file and sending 2 numbers with the help of Servlet File we are receiving that 2 numbers and we are calculating addition of 2 numbers and printing sum of those numbers.
  25. If we want to execute of project first Right Click on our project, move to Run As and click on Run on Server.

  26. GenericServlet13

  27. On the next window Run On Server we have to select Choose an existing server and then click on Always use this server when running this project and click on Finish. Then the project will execute on the localhost and the html page willbe displayed on the Internal Browser of Eclipse IDE. If you want to change the default browser click on Window tab and move to Web Browser and select which browser you want to execute.

  28. GenericServlet15

  29. Again execute by right clicking on project folder and move to run as and click on run on server. It will open the webpage on the browser which you have selected in the last step.

  30. GenericServlet16

  31. Enter any two numbers in text field. And click on submit.

  32. GenericServlet17

  33. The addition of two numbers will be displayed on the web browser with the help of FirstGenericServlet. In this we are using get method so the values are came in URL to the servlet.

  34. GenericServlet18

  35. By default we are getting the values from the form in String datatype only. But if we want the values in any other datatype like int, double etc... we will take the help of Parsing to convert String format to other datatype format. In our example we have to get integer values, so im using parsing technique to convert String datatype to integer.

  36. GenericServlet19

HttpServlet Class

  1. We can create a servlet by extending HttpServlet class. This is protocol dependent server, it works only on HTTP protocol.
  2. The HttpServlet class extends the GenericServlet class and implements Serializable interface. It provides http specific methods such as doGet, doPost, doHead, doTrace etc.
  3. Unlike Generic Servlet, the HTTP Servlet doesn’t override the service() method. Instead it overrides the doGet() method or doPost() method or both. The doGet() method is used for getting the information from server while the doPost() method is used for sending information to the server.
  4. If the servlet gets HTTP GET request then it will automatically call doGet() method, and if the servlet get HTTP POST request then it will automatically call doPost() method.

  5. Methods of HttpServlet :
    • protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response): This method is called by servlet service method to handle the HTTP GET request from client. While we are submitting a form by using get method then automatically doGet() method will execute. By using this method we are sending values to server through URL. Mainly this method will use when we want to get the information from the server. By using the get method we can send only limited data to the server.

    • protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp): This method is called by servlet service method to handle the POST request from client. While we are submitting a form by using post method then automatically doPost() method will execute. Mainly this is useful when we want to submit the data to the server. By using this method we can send unlimited data to the server.

    • protected void doPut(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp): This method is called by servlet service method to handle the PUT request from client. This method is similar to doPost method but unlike doPost method where we send information to the server, this method sends file to the server, this is similar to the FTP operation from client to server.

    • protected void doDelete(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp): Called by servlet service() method to handle the DELETE request from client that allows a client to delete a document, webpage or information from the server.

  6. Till Last section we learned how to create a ProjectFolder and how to create html or servlet file. But in the Last section we have created GenericServlet but in this section we are creating HttpServlet.
  7. First we have to right-click on the ProjectFolder then move to New and click on Servlet..

  8. HttpServlet1

  9. In the next window we have to select Package if you want to create your servlet inside that Package, then we have to enter our Servlet ClassName. And click on Next button 2 times.

  10. HttpServlet2

  11. Now we have to select which methods do you need in your servlet. In this example I'm selecting doGet() and doPost(). And click on Finish button.

  12. HttpServlet3

  13. Now copy the below code into index.html file.
  14.   index.html
    ------------------------
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>First Servlet</title>
    </head>
    <body>
      <form action="FirstHttpServlet" method="get">
        <input type="text" name="fnum">
    <input type="text" name="snum">
    <input type="submit"/> </form> </body> </html>
  15. Now copy the below code into FirstHttpServlet (created in this section).
  16.   FirstHttpServlet
    ----------------------------
    package co.in.kothaabhishek;
    
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.PrintWriter;
    
    import javax.servlet.ServletException;
    import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
    
    
    @WebServlet("/FirstHttpServlet")
    public class FirstHttpServlet extends HttpServlet {
      private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    
      protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        int firstnum = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("fnum"));
        int secondnum = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("snum"));
        
        int sum = firstnum + secondnum;
        
        response.setContentType("text/html");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        out.print("The sum of two numbers : " +sum);
      }
      
      protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        int firstnum = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("fnum"));
        int secondnum = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("snum"));
        
        int sum = firstnum + secondnum;
        
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        out.print("The sum of two numbers : " +sum);
      }
    
    }
    
  17. In this example we have created doGet() method and doPost() method, if the request is get then doGet() will execute otherwise doPost() will execute.
  18. Now rightclick on the project folder and then move to Run As and click on Run On Server.

  19. HttpServlet4 HttpServlet5

  20. In the above example we have created GET method so the values will be sent through URL, But in the next example we are using POST method so the values will be sent through the body. To confirm that check the URL in both the images.

  21. HttpServlet6

Inserting Records into DataBase using HttpServlet

  1. If you want to insert records in the DataBase with the help of Servlets, first we have to create a form to accept values from the user.
  2. In the second step we have to create a Table to store the values coming from the webpage.
  3. In the third step, by using servlet we have to read the values coming from the form and store those values into the DataBase with the help of the JDBC.
  4. In this tutorial we are using Oracle Database. First we have to create a table in oracle database to insert values into that table. For that you have to open sql Plus command prompt and create a Table with the help of insert query. In our example we are creating a student table with 3 columns like sno, sname, marks. You can create your own table based on your requirements.

  5. Studenttable

  6. In the second step you have to create a form with 3 text fields to accept sno, sname and marks from the user and create one button to submit the form. For that purpose create a html file and copy the below code into that html file.

  7.   index.html
    --------------------
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>First Servlet</title>
    <style type="text/css">
      form{
        text-align : center;
      }
      input{
        padding: 5px;
        margin: 5px;
      }
    </style>
    </head>
    <body>
    <div>
      <form action="InsertServlet" method="post">
        <input type="text" name="sno"><br>
        <input type="text" name="sname"><br>
        <input type="text" name="marks"><br>
        <input type="submit"/>
      </form>
    </div>
    </body>
    </html>
    
  8. In the third step we have to create a Servlet to read the data coming from the user. And we have to store those values into the databse so we will take the help of JDBC with in the same servlet. Create a Servlet and copy the below code into that servlet.
  9.   InsertServlet:
    --------------------
    package co.in.kothaabhishek;
    
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.PrintWriter;
    import java.sql.Connection;
    import java.sql.DriverManager;
    import java.sql.SQLException;
    import java.sql.Statement;
    
    import javax.servlet.ServletException;
    import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
    
    @WebServlet("/InsertServlet")
    public class InsertServlet extends HttpServlet {
      private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    
      
      protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        int stuno = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("sno"));
        String stuname = request.getParameter("sname");
        double stumarks = Double.parseDouble(request.getParameter("marks"));
        
        try {
          Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
          Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl","system","Abhishek1");
          Statement st = con.createStatement();
          String sql = "insert into student values("+stuno+",'"+stuname+"',"+stumarks+")";
          st.executeUpdate(sql);
    
          response.setContentType("text/html");
          PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
          out.println("Record is Inserted");
        } catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
        }
        
      }
    
    }
    
  10. All three steps are completed, now we have to execute the program to see the output. For that right-click on Project Folder and move to Run As and click on Run On Server.
  11. Then we will get one error like ClassNotFoundException, because if we want to connect with the database through Java we have to attach ojdbc*.jar file to that project.

  12. ojdbcerror

  13. Based on your oracle verison attach ojdbc.jar (ojdbc5.jar, ojdbc14.jar, ojdbc10.jar etc...) file to the project with in the lib folder under WEB-INF folder under WebContent folder.
  14. To add ojdbc file to your project copy ojdbc.jar file and select the lib folder in your project under WebContent and paste (ctrl+v) that file into lib folder.

  15. ojdbc

  16. Again execute the project now we will redirect to the webpage in the browser. Enter the values with in the 3 text fields to store into the database and click on submit.

  17. insert

  18. Now the record is successfully inserted into the databse and we are getting output as Record is Inserted.
  19. inserted

  20. If you want to verify the inserted details open SQL Plus command prompt and use select query to view the records from the student table.

  21. record1

  22. You can use this program any number of times to insert records into the student table. In this example we are inserting records into the databse with the help of Servlet and JDBC coming from the user through webpage/browser.

View Records from DataBase using HttpServlet

  1. In this example I want to create a Servlet which will get the records from the databse, based on a condition. For example after getting results of any exam (like SSC, Inter, BTech) we will enter our HallTicket number in the webpage, based on that number our results will be displayed. In this example we are trying same like that.
  2. In the First Step create a table in the database and add some records into that table. In our example I'm creating a table called sscmarks with 8 fields to store sno, sname and student marks in 6 subjects.

  3. sscmarks

  4. Into that table i have added some records (Actually in real time admin/owner will add records into that table user will get the results based on his hallticket number through the browser).

  5. sscmarks1

  6. In the Second Step we have to create a form in webpage to accept the HallTicket number from the user. For that purpose we are creating one TextField and one Submit Button. When we click on submit button user has to get his result from the database. Create a html file in your project and paste the below code.
  7.   <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Retrieve Records in Database<</title>
    <style type="text/css">
      input{
        padding: 5px;
        margin: 5px;
      }
    </style>
    </head>
    <body>
    <div>
    <h1>View Records : </h1>
      <form action="ViewServlet" method="get">
        <input type="text" name="rollno2" placeholder="Enter Rollno"><br>
        <input type="submit" value="View Result" style="width:170px;"/>
      </form>
    </div>
    </body>
    </html>
    
  8. In the Third step we have to create a Servlet, and read the value from the browser and based on that number we have to retrieve a record from the database and display that record to the user in browser.
  9. If we want to get the information from the table we will use select query. For example here im showing that query in SQL pluscommand prompt.

  10. get1

  11. Based on that query we are getting records from the table and we have to display those records in the browser. So create a Servlet and paste the below code into your servlet.
  12.   View Servlet :

          e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    }
    
  13. Now execute the Project by Right-clicking on the folder and move to run as and click on Run on Server. Now the webpage will open in the browser. Now to have to enter your rollno to view your result.

  14. get2
    get3

  15. Based on the rollno we have retrieved the result from the table and displayed to the user with the help of browser.

User Registration & Login using HttpServlet

  1. In this example we are creating User Registration and Login by using 2 forms with in a single web page. To store the values of User Registration we have created a database table called UserRegistration with 5 columns.
  2. registration

  3. I have inserted some records through SQL plus cpmmand prompt.
  4. registration2

  5. First step is to create a form to Register a user with basic details and create a form to Login with username and Password. For that purpose create an html file and copy the below code into that file.
  6. <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <style> 
    body {
     font-size: 25px;
    }
    form{
      width: 35%;
      margin: 0px auto;
    }
    input[type=text] {
      width: 100%;
      box-sizing: border-box;
      border: 2px solid blue;
      border-radius: 10px;
      font-size: 16px;
      background-color: white;
      padding: 15px 25px 12px 55px;
      margin: 5px;
    }
    input[type=password] {
      width: 100%;
      box-sizing: border-box;
      border: 2px solid blue;
      border-radius: 10px;
      font-size: 16px;
      background-color: white;
      padding: 15px 25px 12px 55px;
      margin: 5px;
    }
    input[type=radio] {
      box-sizing: border-box;
      font-size: 16px;
      margin: 20px;
    }
    input[type=email] {
      width: 100%;
      box-sizing: border-box;
      border: 2px solid blue;
      border-radius: 10px;
      font-size: 16px;
      background-color: white;
      background-size: 25px 25px;
      padding: 15px 25px 12px 55px;
      margin: 5px;
    }
    input[type=number] {
      width: 100%;
      box-sizing: border-box;
      border: 2px solid blue;
      border-radius: 10px;
      font-size: 16px;
      background-color: white;
      padding: 15px 25px 12px 55px;
      margin: 5px;
    }
    input[type=submit] {
      width: 100%;
      box-sizing: border-box;
      border: 2px solid blue;
      border-radius: 10px;
      font-size: 16px;
      background-color: black;
      color: white;
      padding: 15px 25px 12px 55px;
      cursor: pointer;
      text-align: center;
    }
    </style>
    </head>
    <body>
    
    <form action="UserRegistration" method="post">
      <b>Registration Page : </b><input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Enter Your Name">
      <input type="password" name="pwd" placeholder="Enter Your Password">
      <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Enter Your email">
      <input type="number" name="number" placeholder="Enter Your Mobile Number">
      Gender :<input type="radio" name="gender" value="Male">Male
              <input type="radio" name="gender" value="Female">Female
      <input type="submit" name="Register" value="Register">
    </form>
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    <form action="ValidateUser" method="post">
      <b>Login Page : </b><input type="text" name="name2" placeholder="Enter Your Name">
      <input type="password" name="pwd2" placeholder="Enter Your Password">
      <input type="submit" name="Login" value="Login">
    </form>
    
    </body>
    </html>
    
  7. First User will Register with basic details like username, password, email etc.. so we have to store those values into the database table with the help of Servlet and JDBC. Create a servlet to insert values into the table and paste the below code.
  8.   package co.in.kothaabhishek;
    
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.PrintWriter;
    import java.sql.Connection;
    import java.sql.DriverManager;
    import java.sql.Statement;
    
    import javax.servlet.ServletException;
    import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
    
    @WebServlet("/UserRegistration")
    public class UserRegistration extends HttpServlet {
      private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    
      protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        String name = request.getParameter("name");
        String password = request.getParameter("pwd");
        String email = request.getParameter("email");
        int number = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("number"));
        String gender = request.getParameter("gender");
        
        try {
          Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
          Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl","system","Abhishek1");
          Statement st = con.createStatement();
          
          String query = "insert into userregistration values('"+name+"','"+password+"','"+email+"',"+number+",'"+gender+"')";      
          st.executeUpdate(query);
          
          response.setContentType("text/html");
          PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
          out.println("User Registered");
          
        }catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
        }
    
      }
    
    }
    
  9. After successful registration user has to login to view the details. So we are creating another servlet to validate user with username & password. If the username and password exists then the user has to view the output, if incase username/password is wrong it has to dispay invalid user. So create second servlet to verify user credentials and paste the below code in your file.
  10.   package co.in.kothaabhishek;
    
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.PrintWriter;
    import java.sql.Connection;
    import java.sql.DriverManager;
    import java.sql.ResultSet;
    import java.sql.Statement;
    
    import javax.servlet.ServletException;
    import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
    
    @WebServlet("/ValidateUser")
    public class ValidateUser extends HttpServlet {
      private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    
      protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        String name = request.getParameter("name2");
        String password = request.getParameter("pwd2");
        
        try {
          Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
          Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl","system","Abhishek1");
          Statement st = con.createStatement();
          
          String query = "select * from userregistration where uname='"+name+"' and upassword='"+password+"'";
          
          ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(query);
          
          response.setContentType("text/html");
          PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
          
          if(rs.next()) {
            out.println("Name:"+rs.getString(1)+"<br>");
            out.println("Email:"+rs.getString(3)+"<br>");
            out.println("Mobile:"+rs.getString(4)+"<br>");
            out.println("Gender:"+rs.getString(5)+"<br>");
          }else {
            out.println("Not a Valid User");
          }
        }catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
        } 
      }
    }
    
  11. Below are some images of User Registration and User Login.


  12. User Registration :
    registration3

    User Registration Successful :

RequestDispatcher in Servlet

  1. The RequestDispatcher interface receives the request from client and dispatches it to the resource it may be html, servlet or jsp.
  2. RequestDispatcher interface provides two methods. They are:
  3. forward(ServletRequest request,ServletResponse response) : Forwards a request from a servlet to another resource (servlet, JSP file, or HTML file) on the server. For example we have 2 Pages Servlet1 and Servlet2, and we are sending request from Servlet1 to Servlet2 by using forward() the final response will send to the client by using Servlet2 page.

  4. forward

  5. include(ServletRequest request,ServletResponse response) : Includes the content of a resource (servlet, JSP page, or HTML file) in the response. For example we have 2 Pages Servlet1 and Servlet2, and we are sending request from Servlet1 to Servlet2 by using include() the final response will send to the client by using Servlet1 page only.

  6. include

    example
  7. In our example we are creating one html file and 2 servlets. We are accepting username and password througn html file, if username and password are valid we have to redirect to WelcomeServlet otherwise we have to print some error message with login page.
  8. index.html :
