creating a text file based on the the form information

[Gaurav Kalra]

How do i create a text file based on the inputs obtained from a form. Also how do i create a resultset which is not forward only. The method setDirection is not working correctly.

The parameters gathered from the form are String objects. IO works the same in JSP, to write to a file you need to instantiate a FileWriter object.
This can either be handled in the JSP file or in a bean that the JSP will use.
This is one suggestion that will work.
(you must import "java.io.*")

Writer mywriter = new FileWriter("myfile.whatever");
PrintWriter form = new PrintWriter(mywriter);

After that you can call form.print() or any other PrintWriter methods and it will write to your file.
I don't understand your question about result sets.
Also, even though you are using this on a JSP, your questions are really about I/O and JDBC respectively. You might get better answers in those forums.

As for your resultset question, it depends on teh JDBC driver you are using. JDBC 2.0 drivers to support moving forward/backward withing the resultset.
