Unable to create connection to MS-access database from JSP form

Hello everyone,
I am facing problem adding data from JSP form page into MS-Access(database). Please help me correct this.

Here's the code
1. form.jsp

2. insert.jsp

Please help me correct it
Thanks in advance.

This is not something you should be doing in a JSP. Java code in a JSP is a bad practice that has been discredited for 10 years now. Time to update your JSP knowledge.

In any case, this is a JDBC issue, not a JSP issue, so the post has been moved to the JDBC forum.

Bear, i will keep this in mind.
Please help me toh correct this.

As Bear has stated the functionality in the insert.jsp should be in a Java class. You can create a servlet class and place the functionality in there. If you are having trouble the post the issue....

Here is an explanation of the pattern (MVC) which is really what you would be implementing.

Java World MVC

Correct what? You showed some code but aren't telling us what the problem is.

Read: TellTheDetails, ItDoesntWorkIsUseless

The problem is that connection is not getting created. I want to insert data but i am not able to create connection.

Read ItDoesntWorkIsUseless again.

Just telling us that it doesn't work doesn't give us any information to go on.

Step 1: move the code out of a JSP and into a Java class where it not only belongs, but where it will be easier to manage and debug.

Then tell us the details of the problem.

What i am getting is an error in line number 14 and 16. I think it means connection is not getting created.

Here's the code:

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class insertt extends HttpServlet {
    protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        String fname=request.getParameter("fname");
        String lname=request.getParameter("lname");
        try{
        Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
        Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:root");
        out.println(fname);
        Statement st=con.createStatement();
        int i=st.executeUpdate("insert into student(firstname,lastnamee) values('"+fname+"','"+lname+"')");
        out.println("Data is successfully inserted!");
        }
        catch(Exception e){
        System.out.print(e);
        e.printStackTrace();
        }     
        
        out.close();
    }
    
    // <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="HttpServlet methods. Click on the + sign on the left to edit the code.">
    /** Handles the HTTP <code>GET</code> method.
     * @param request servlet request
     * @param response servlet response
     */
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
        processRequest(request, response);
    }
    
    /** Handles the HTTP <code>POST</code> method.
     * @param request servlet request
     * @param response servlet response
     */
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
        processRequest(request, response);
    }
    
    /** Returns a short description of the servlet.
     */
    public String getServletInfo() {
        return "Short description";
    }
    // </editor-fold>
}

So that isn't going to work.

I don't believe you ever posted the exact error message. You should always read the error message, and if you're asking a question about it here on the forum then you should post the error message here as part of your question.
