I will show you a whole example of servlet & how do ajax call.
Here, we are going to create the simple example to create the login form using servlet.
index.html
<form>
Name:<input type="text" name="username"/><br/><br/>
Password:<input type="password" name="userpass"/><br/><br/>
<input type="button" value="login"/>
</form>
Here is ajax Sample
$.ajax
({
type: "POST",
data: 'LoginServlet='+name+'&name='+type+'&pass='+password,
url: url,
success:function(content)
{
$('#center').html(content);
}
});
LoginServlet Servlet Code :-
package abc.servlet;
import java.io.File;
public class AuthenticationServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
doPost(request, response);
}
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
try{
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
String username = request.getParameter("name");
String password = request.getParameter("pass");
/// Your Code
out.println("sucess / failer")
} catch (Exception ex) {
// System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed.");
ex.printStackTrace();
System.exit(0);
}
}
}
