Yes you can instantiate and use other classes in a servlet

are you hoping that main() method will be called automatically? it will not.
move that code to some other method and call that method from your servlet.

some thing like this

I don't understand what exactly is happening.

Is the doGet method called? Is the if-condition true or false? If it is true, what happens then? Does the code in the constructor run? As it is, there's no way to check whether that's the case or not, so how have you established that it's not running?

actualy i have created a JSP from which i am calling
this Servlet and also doGet method is called bcoz i
have used it in my JSP .

method be called ?i was wrong but now i have made
those changes but still i am not getting my data
in the database table
is there any changes i must make
in web.xml so as to include java class in that servlet

I don't understand what you mean by this. You don't "call" a servlet from a JSP - do you mean forward, or include, or redirect?

Furthermore, the doGet method is not used in a JSP. (To be more precise, one is being created behind the scenes by the servlet container, but there is none in the JSP, nor would your code use it.)

i think Sudhir is right bcoz how will the main method be called?

Indeed, main methods have no meaning in servlet containers, and won't be called.

is there any changes i must make in web.xml so as to include java class in that servlet

No. Your class will be used if the code is being called properly. That's why I asked the various questions above. Answering those will help us pinpoint the problem.

Also, how is the servlet being called - with which URL, and which parameters?

hey! Ulf Dittmer


you are absolutly right i have used redirect() in My JSP below is the code for it
Testing.jsp gets the values from html page using request.getParameter method
in my html i pass three values firstname ,email and password



test is the name of my Servlet
below is code for it





below is my code for Connect.java which connects to database and inserts value in table





Now i dont know where i am going wrong ?

here is code for web.xml


<servlet>
<servlet-name>test</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>test</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ValidUser</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>ValidUser</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>test</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/test</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ValidUser</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/ValidUser</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>



any help on above will be realy great
thanks in advance

Rather than post your code over again, go back and answer each of Ulf's questions. People will be much more likely to stick with you until your problem is solved if you're careful not to ignore questions that they've asked when trying to help you.

Answer them all to the best of your ability.
If you don't understand one of his questions, let him know so he can re-phrase it.

Please use real words when posting to the forums. Abbreviations such as "bcoz" in place of "because" only serve to make your posts more difficult to read and less likely to generate useful responses.

Please read this for more information.

Dhwani,

I do have a suggestion to you. I know you are into the beginning level of Servlets and JSP. And i have been seeing a couple of posts from you in the very basic stuff which certainly shows that you lack in the *fundamental concepts* of the technologies.

Better spend some time and read the concepts clearly. Once you understand the basic working model of the technologies, you yourself will get rid of the small issues.

Good luck

yes you can do it. Servlet is also a java program. you may call any function of any java class from it. and can also pass the parameter
