request.getParameter("<password-field>");

You do need to specify a connection string with its driver.

Tnx Malhar, But still not clear.
I Do like that As Books suggest.

      
      try {
        String userNameDB = "anonymous";
        String passwordDB = "guest";
        String urlDB = "jdbc  :o  dbc:AccDB";
        Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
        connection = DriverManager.getConnection( urlDB,
                      userNameDB, passwordDB);
      }catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe){}
       catch(SQLException sqle){}
 

But i dont want to make DataSource(ODBC) connection (as we do in MS Windows).
Actually i want to know how Servlet and Database interact on Web Server, without DataSource(ODBC) connection.
