Hi,
Below is the code that i used to do executeUpdate(), it is not showing any exceptions and also it is not updating the table. to check if there are any null values i've printed the individual outputs but they are fine.
Having scriptlets inside a JSP is a bad approach in first place. You could have this code snippet in servlet.
Capture the return value of ps.executeUpdate() and check. It tells the number of rows affected by the query.
