Submit from to a servlet

[Vinodh Kaliya]

I have a form that needs to submit its data to a servlet . The servlet has been defined in the web.xml . The form lies in a webpage that is not part of the url-pattern that has been described in the web.xml .

What should i put in my action so that upon pressing the submit button the data will be sent to the servlet ?

<Form Method="Get" Action=" ? ">

The context path for the application followed by the mapping for the servlet.

Thanks for the help Bear-B. It is working now. So to access the servlet (if there are multiple servlets also) then we use their appropriate mapping that pertains to that servlet.

hi Seetharaman.

Yes, that is the whole purpose of the mapping.

Mention the servlet name name in the form action.

Like if your servlet name is Demo and url-pattern .do then write <form method="GET/POST" action="Demo.do">

Try it ..

If still problem then reply .

He already reported that it's working. Why are you adding more info, and that's not even accurate?
