inserting data to a table

hi,
In Jsp,
I want to insert a documentid,userid from a form when it is posted to the same page to a table..
But when it gets inserted a null value is also inserted in another row of the table with same documentid but userid to null..
why this happens....?

Hai!
I too am surprised why it populates another row with duplicate document id and null user id.
Just make sure you have followed similar steps as shown here.
Which JDBC driver and RDBMS u r using?
// DBConnection has a valid java.sql.Connection value.
try{
String query = "insert into Table values(?,?)";
PreparedStatement ps = DBConnection.prepareStatement(query);
ps.setInt(1,docId); //docId should be the request Parameter
ps.setString(2,userId);
ps.executeUpdate();
ps.close();
}catch(SQLException sql){//Handle the exception}
Try this and let me know what happens.

Hi Joseph Vinodh,
Thanks for ur reply..
I am using JDBC connection only....
I used this coding to fix that null row to be added in the table,
try
{
String jj="";

String gg1=request.getParameter("gg");
out.print(gg1);
if (gg1.equals(jj))
{
out.print("nullllllllll");
}
else
{
st.executeUpdate("insert into shareddocuments(documentid,userid) values('"+s+"','"+gg1+"')");
out.println("INSERTED....");
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
out.println("errror"+e);
}
but i get
this error

java.lang.NullPointerException
But my progrm is working....
help me to fix this error..
regards,
Aarthi.

Hello Aarthi,
I think there is no problem as for as Java coding is concerned.
R u sure that u have given value for "s"(user Id)and u should also make sure whether u assigned "gg" as your textbox name for userId and "s" as your textbox name for document id.
Still if u find it difficult, send me or post your entire jsp file .

Vinodh.

I get the error as i said in the second my last reply.

Kindly try this, just include one more condition in your IF as below
if (gg1.equals(jj)||gg1==null)
{
out.print("nullllllllll");
}
else
{
st.executeUpdate("insert into shareddocuments(documentid,userid) values('"+s+"','"+gg1+"')");
out.println("INSERTED....");
}
If success, let me know.

hi vinod,
thanks ya!
Even i get the same error.....

errrorjava.lang.NullPointerException
regards,
aarthi.

As i don't have your DB-related thing in my computer, i could not run and find out where the problem lies.
But still you can find out the problem by using out.println()fn after each and every executable statement.After you find out where NullPointer exception gets thrown, you could easily able to solve the problem.
Good Luck!!

Vinodh.
