Hiiiiiii Freinds......I am a newcomer in the field of JSPs and Servlets.I am developing a web application and having a problem in forwarding control from one page to another page
welcome page of my application is index.jsp which is divided into three frames one frame is reserved for taking user input details i.e. username and password.after clicking upon submit button control should go to loginhandler.jsp after that a page welcome.jsp should open with welcome, ~~username~~ printed over it.
But i have a problem, upon clicking the submit button nothing is happening.What is the problem behind?please help me!
I am attaching code snippets with message.

Are you placing the Submit button inside a HTML <form> set? With the proper Action and Method values?

I recommend using Firefox with HttpFox plugin, it really helps see what is going on, which method you are using, paramtees, etc.

Don't attach anything, use code tags, and include the relevant configs/code.

Can you see that the formatting didn't work? Please edit your message to properly indent your code and remove the color/size tags.

Your form doesn't have an "action" attribute. (Or a closing form tag.)

Nothing to do with JSP -- moved to the HTML forum.

Do you really not indent your code?

Use code tags and indented code and the indentation will be preserved.

Adding code tags after you've lost the formatting won't help. If you use code tags and put formatted code between them, the formatting will be preserved.

It's hardly surprising that things don't work. You have scriptlets in your JSP -- that's a bad thing. Not only that but you have your JDBC connection hard-coded in those scriptlets -- that's not a very good idea. Not only that but you are trying to use the JDBC-ODBC bridge and there's a good chance you haven't configured an ODBC data source on the server where the JSPs are running.

Anyway it might well be that one of your JSPs is throwing an exception. Have a look in the server logs to see if that's the case.

The thing is that unindented code is unnecessarily difficult to read: you're a *lot* more likely if you put the effort in to make things as easy as possible to help you.

I have separated the business logic and view.but this time i am getting a new error-
/loginhandler.jsp(4): class 'com.mycompany.login.Login' could not be loaded
probably occurred due to an error in /loginhandler.jsp line 4:
<jsp:useBean id="idHandler" class="com.mycompany.login.Login" scope="request" />
i am using weblogic 8.1 and oracle database server.codes for JSPs and bean class are given below-

login.jsp

loginhandler.jsp

welcome.jsp

Login.java

package com.mycompany.login;
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;

public class Login 
{
//default constructor
public Login(){}
//method for the database connection
public Connection getConnection()
throws IOException{
Connection conn = null;
try{
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe",
"system",
"abcdefgh");
}
catch(SQLException e)
{
System.out.println("SQLException: " + e.getMessage());
while((e = e.getNextException()) != null)
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
catch(ClassNotFoundException e)
{
System.out.println("ClassNotFoundException: " + e.getMessage());
}
return conn;
}
//method that is called from validateuser.jsp and this checks for the authentic user and
public boolean authenticate(String user, String pass)
throws SQLException, IOException{
String Username = null, Password = null;
Login dbconn = new Login();
Statement stmt = dbconn.getConnection().createStatement();
String sql = "SELECT USER_NAME, PASS_WORD FROM LOGINDETAILS WHERE USER_NAME='" + user + "'" + "AND PASS_WORD='" + pass + "'";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
if(rs.next()){
Username = rs.getString("USER_NAME");
Password = rs.getString("PASS_WORD");
}
if(Username != null && Password != null && user.equals(Username) && pass.equals(Password)){
return true;

Looks like a deployment issue, perhaps.

Seriously--indent your code. You're not likely to get much help if it's difficult to read.

Also, I'm not sure those sendRedirects will work since you'll have already written to the response.

Then indent it. Indentation indicates structure. Structure is important. Code is needlessly difficult to read without structure.

You can't send a redirect after you've already written to the response (like with HTML).

hi,

i used javascript to focus() on the required field and it is working with <input type="text" name=... onchange=...> and similarly with <html><form></form></html>

but it is focusing something else when I am using <html:form...> and <html:text...>

please help me on this.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards.
