There is no too simple question .Coming to your question ,

get the text field value of jsp in servlet using request.getParameter("text_field_name") returns String .Pass this into your DAO (in which java class you put the DB related stuff)class's method and Use this String Object in your where condition of your db query

Hope this helps

thanks for your answer, it really worked for me. Now I have another problem I want to update database when pressing update button. I am having following code with button.

<input type=button name="update"

value="Update" immediate="true" action="return update();">

but I don't know where to write my update function if I write it into <script language= javascript -- I can't get the resultset or should I declare my function into ><% function %>
I am using servlet DBConnection for database connection and update purpose and accessing with
<jsp:useBean id="ob" class="connect.DBConnection"

scope="page" />

I hope you can understand my problem.

thanks in advance
Thank you
