Combination Question

[Sam Smoot]

I'm new to Java, JSP, and Websphere... I am trying to create a form (HTML or JSP) and am trying to pass the input to a servlet on my test platform. How do you "path" the call to the servlet? I have tried the UseBean method as well as trying to call the servlet in the action parameter of the form, but nothing shows up. When I default a value in the servlet, it works fine.
HELP!!!

[Roy Ben Ami]

using the action in the form should work.
can u post some code?

[Sam Smoot]

I get my table headings, but no data. IF I hardcode the value in the servlet, I get data....
The servlet is:

code removed

The JSP is:

code removed

any suggestions?

Hello!
I think what the problem is on submit the servlet doGet() method is invoked because u not specify the method attribute of the <form>. and u recieve the parameter in doPost() which is never called therefore the client is always null.

[Sam Smoot]

added method=post to form. Now get Null Pointer exception in servlet....
AAAAUUUGGHHHHH!

[Amir Kamran]

write the code of doGet in doPost after the line client = getParameter("client");
I think this will solve the problem
