4.> I have added mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar and servlet-api-3.0.jar is anything else needed to add it. I have created a connection to database in Data Source Explorer.

When I m compiling or debuging it shows no error. During runtime also there is no error. When I fill in the form and submit it shows only blank screen :( No output is displayed. :( Also in the database values are not updated.

Please help me. I m getting hangover with this snippet.

This question is related to java mysql xml jsp servlets

The answer is


I had a similar issue and was able to resolve it by identifying which JDBC driver I intended to use. In my case, I was connecting to an Oracle database. I placed the following statement, prior to creating the connection variable.

DriverManager.registerDriver( new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());


Can you check value of i by putting logger or println(). and check with closing db conn at the end. Rest your code looks fine and it should work.


String user = request.getParameter("uname");
out.println(user); 
String pass = request.getParameter("pass");
out.println(pass); 
Class.forName( "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" );
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/rental","root","root" ) ;
out.println("hello");
Statement st = conn.createStatement();
String sql = "insert into login (user,pass) values('" + user + "','" + pass + "')";
st.executeUpdate(sql);

Remove conn.commit from Register.java

In your jsp change action to :<form name="registrationform" action="Register" method="post">


In your JSP at line <form> tag, try this code

<form name="registrationform" action="Register" method="post">

Same problem fetch main problem in PreparedStatement use simple statement then you successfully insert record same use below.

String  st2="insert into 
user(gender,name,address,telephone,fax,email,
     destination,sdate,edate,Participant,hcategory,
     Culture,Nature,People,Cities,Beaches,Festivals,username,password) 
values('"+gender+"','"+name+"','"+address+"','"+phone+"','"+fax+"',
       '"+email+"','"+desti+"','"+sdate+"','"+edate+"','"+parti+"',
       '"+hotel+"','"+chk1+"','"+chk2+"','"+chk3+"','"+chk4+"',
       '"+chk5+"','"+chk6+"','"+user+"','"+password+"')";


int i=stm.executeUpdate(st2);
