I am trying to get the information of the user that just logged in from the db and by using the jsp above display it to them
public class UserInfoServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request , HttpServletResponse response)throws ServletException{
}
}
I know how to get information from jsp to java and save it to db but i do not know how to go to the oposite direction
You will need to connect to db then set the info in the session like this:
public class DatabaseAccess extends HttpServlet{
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
//you can use your own connection thing in you don't like the below code
static final String JDBC_DRIVER="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
static final String DB_URL="jdbc:mysql://localhost/TEST";
static final String USER = "root";
static final String PASS = "password";
try{
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL, USER, PASS);
// Execute SQL query
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
String sql;
sql = "YOUR QUERY. YOU SAID YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
// Extract data from result set
while(rs.next()){
//Retrieve by column name
String fname = rs.getString("first");
String flast = rs.getString("last");
}
rs.close();
stmt.close();
conn.close();
}catch(SQLException se){
se.printStackTrace();
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}finally{
try{
if(stmt!=null)
stmt.close();
}catch(SQLException se2){
}
try{
if(conn!=null)
conn.close();
}catch(SQLException se){
se.printStackTrace();
}
}
//get the session and set the values
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
session.setAttribute("fname", fname);
RequestDispatcher rd=req.getRequestDispatcher("/whateveristhejspname.jsp");
rd.forward(req, resp);
}
}
Make sure you have your mapping setup correctly in your web.xml file
<servlet>
<servlet-name>DatabaseAccess</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>DatabaseAccess</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>DatabaseAccess</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/DatabaseAccess</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request , HttpServletResponse response)throws ServletException {
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
//todo getSomeThing from DB
session.setAttribute("userInfo","yourMessage");
response.sendRedirect("your Page Location");
}
maybe you want this

I have a one welcome.jsp page where I am collecting few information and with the help of HTML FORM sending this request and response object to servlet to insert data into DB, so after this operation I want to go back to the same Welcome.jsp, but when I tried to use the
RequestDispatcher rs = request.getRequestDispatcher("Welcome.jsp");
rs.forward(request, response);
I lost all the populated values on the same Welcome.jsp,
So please suggest is there a way where I can send the existing request and response object with new request and response to the servlet and will send back old request and response object from servlet to JSP.
So below is code from "Welcome.jsp"

But when I clicked on Submit button it calls the AddWeekendsShiftDetails servlet,
So in this case this form will send its own request and response object right ?
So from the AddWeekendsShiftDetails servlet I'm inserting values to the Mysql DB
Below is the code from AddWeekendsShiftDetails servlet:-
package com.taskManagment.login;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.Date;
//import javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher;
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("/AddWeekendsShiftDetails")
public class AddWeekendsShiftDetails extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public AddWeekendsShiftDetails() {
super();
}
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
response.getWriter().append("Served at: ").append(request.getContextPath());
}
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
String sDate = request.getParameter("pickedDate");
String processName = request.getParameter("processname");
try {
Date sqlDate=Date.valueOf(sDate);
Connection con = null;
con = DBConnection.createConnection();
String lanId = SessionDetails.getDetailsFromSession(request, "lanid");
System.out.println("session Lanid from Weekend Servlet:- " + lanId);
insertWeekendShiftDetails(con, lanId, processName, sqlDate);
con.close();
/*RequestDispatcher rs = request.getRequestDispatcher("Welcome.jsp");
rs.forward(request, response);*/
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void insertWeekendShiftDetails(Connection con, String lanId, String processname, Date date ) {
PreparedStatement ps = null;
try {
String insertWeekendRotaDetails = "MY INSERT QUERY";
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(new java.util.Date().getTime());
ps = con.prepareStatement(insertWeekendRotaDetails);
ps.setString(1, null); ps.setString(2, lanId);
ps.setDate(3, (java.sql.Date) date); ps.setString(4, processname);
ps.setString(5, "Y"); ps.setString(6, "N");
ps.setString(7, null); ps.setDate(8, null);
ps.setString(9, "N"); ps.setDate(10, sqlDate);
ps.setDate(11, null);
ps.executeUpdate();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Now from the doPost when I want to go back to the "Welcome.jsp" with the code like
RequestDispatcher rs = request.getRequestDispatcher("Welcome.jsp");
rs.forward(request, response);
so it will send back the request and response object of the form which was called from the section
and because of which the other values on the fields are getting null,
So I want a way with which I can hold the old values on Welcome.jsp page.
before sending it back you need to set the attributes you want to the request. You can do that using request.setAttribute("attribute_name","attribute_value"); and the you can retrieve it by using request.getAttribute in the next page. For example
request.setAttribute("errorMsg", "Invalid data . Please correct the input data");
requestDispatcher = request.getRequestDispatcher("error.jsp");
requestDispatcher.forward(request, response);
And then in error.jsp you can use:
<%=request.getAttribute("errorMsg") %>
I want to insert the photoPath URL that the servlet gets from the form into my table however, it is not working.
protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
String name = request.getParameter("name");
String number = request.getParameter("contactNumber");
String position = request.getParameter("position");
String email = request.getParameter("email");
String photoPath = request.getParameter("myImage");
MySqlHandler.registerEmployee(name, number, position, email, photoPath);
}
If I do
try (PrintWriter out = response.getWriter()) {
out.println(photoPath);
}
the url is displayed as 150x150.png (which is the name of my img) so I know the string is stored there. But when I pass it into my registerEmployee function, it stops all data from getting inserted into my table. If I set photoPath to some static string, everything gets inserted properly. What could be wrong? I think maybe the string I get from
request.getParameter("myImage");
contains some weird characters that can't be inserted into mysql table?
public static void registerEmployee(String name, String number, String position, String email, String photoPath) {
initConnection();
try {
String query = " insert into employee_registry (name, number, position, email, photo_path)"
+ " values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)";
PreparedStatement preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(query);
preparedStatement.setString(1, name);
preparedStatement.setString(2, number);
preparedStatement.setString(3, position);
preparedStatement.setString(4, email);
preparedStatement.setString(5, photoPath);
preparedStatement.execute();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.err.println("Exception" + e.getMessage());
}
closeConnection();
}

I am using struts 1.2. My struts flow is working properly but when I am using validate() method of action form for validation. my form is automatically submitted. and this validation method get called.
I am not sure this is normal behavior of struts or some configuration are missing in my application.
Please help me to understand it.
following are the config and code
<action path="/Postaddd"
type="bseller.postadd.PostaddAction"
parameter="dispatch"
scope="request"
validate="true"
name="PostadddForm">
<forward name="posterror" path="ordererror.page"/>
<forward name="successPost" path="bseller.successPost.page"/>
</action> public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request)
{
Logger log= Logger.getLogger("BSELLER_APPLICATION");
log.info("validate method called");
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
log.info("Email Id: " + getEmailid());
if(!Validation.isValidEmailAddress(getEmailid()))
{
errors.add("emailid", new ActionMessage("prompt.email.error"));
}
if(!Validation.isPhoneNumberValid(getMobile()))
{
errors.add("mobile", new ActionMessage("prompt.contactno.error"));
}
if(!Validation.isNumeric(getPrice()))
{
errors.add("price", new ActionMessage("prompt.price.error"));
}
return errors;
}

the validate method of actionform is always called when the form is submitted. you cannot manually call it unless you r reimplementing struts in ur own way. if u want a method to do the same work as the validate method, move the code of the validate method into another method and call it in the validate method. I do not completely understand what you are trying to do so please be more specific.
