I am trying to add or insert values into table of database using servlet and jsp and MySQL Workbench as database. These are the following details:

4.> I have added mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar and servlet-api-3.0.jar is anything else needed to add it. I have created a connection to database in Data Source Explorer.

When I m compiling or debuging it shows no error. During runtime also there is no error. When I fill in the form and submit it shows only blank screen :( No output is displayed. :( Also in the database values are not updated.

Please help me. I m getting hangover with this snippet.

Answer 1

Check that doPost() method of servlet is called from the jsp form and remove conn.commit.
