To retrieve data from the database

Hi all

I have a simple question, Can I retrieve data from the Mysql database on page load. i.e i am storing the information from page one and i want to retrieve that stored information on my page two. And this should be retrieved on page load.

Is this possible, if yes could anybody guide me with some tips.

Thanks

Are you talking about web pages? If so, retrieve the data as page one is being created and store the results in a session attribute. You can simply write the data to the page for page one. For page two, have it simply pull out the data from the session attribute and write the data to the page.

If you're talking about using the "onload" attribute of the html body tag, you'd need to do this through javascript and XmlHttpRequest object. I guess I'm having trouble determining whether you mean "on page load" literally or not.

Hope that helps

While JDBC is mentioned, this is really a question on how web pages work. Moving to Servlets.
