Hyeprlinks inside servlet

Hi all

I am new to J2EE and created servlet. Now this servlet needs to display below hyperlink inside out.println()

as I insert this HTML code into servlet, it takes "//" as comment entry. Please help.

You can't just stick HTML into a servlet. Is that what you are doing? Please show us the entire servlet code (please UseCodeTags).

Thanks for your reply !

As requested, I am putting piece of code. It is a small code so not following MVC.

protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        try {
            String user="name";
            String passwrd="pass";
            out.println("<html>");
            out.println("<head>");
            out.println("<title>Servlet submit</title>");  
            out.println("</head>");
            out.println("<body>");
         // getting two parameters username and password from html page
            if(request.getParameter("username").equals(user)&&request.getParameter("password").equals(passwrd) )
             { // The below line works fine.  
              out.println("<h1>You are authorised"  + "</h1>");
              // I need to display below link on servlet page , so client can access forClient folder. As I put in // after http: , it takes it as comment.
             //out.println("<a href="http://198.xxx.xx.xxx/forClient/">2. click</a><br />");
             }
            else
                  out.println("<h1>You are not authorised"  + "</h1>");
            out.println("</body>");
            out.println("</html>");
          
        } finally { 
            out.close();
        }
       }

This is basic Java. Quotes inside a string literal must be escaped.

Thanks a ton !!!

Sometimes we are so involved in complexities that we miss out basics

and try using any modern IDE with syntax highlight, that will make you life a lot easier
