Working With Database Application in JSP

In this article, I am going to develop a database application with JSP. To develop that type of application, first we design a database and then develop a JSP application using NetBeans IDE. For this application we use the following steps.

Step 1: Create a new database

At first we click on the blank database option and click on create.

Then select the database from your computer and give it a specific name. Now the DSN is created.

Step 8: Select Framework

There is no need to select any framework for this application; just click on the finish button.

Step 9: Create JSP file

We create one JSP (index.jsp) file for this application.

Index.jsp

<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<% Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"); %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Working With a Database Table </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="cyan">
<H1>Action in a Database Table </H1>
<FORM NAME="form1" ACTION="index.jsp" METHOD="POST">
<%
int current = 1;
if(request.getParameter("hidden") != null) {
current = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("hidden"));
}
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:odbc:data");
Statement statement = connection.createStatement(
ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
ResultSet resultset =
statement.executeQuery("select * from table1");
if(current < 1){
current = 1;
}
resultset.last();
int rows = resultset.getRow();
if(current <= rows){
resultset.absolute(current);
}
%>
<TABLE BORDER="1">
<TR>
<TH>ID</TH>
<TH>Name</TH>
<TH>City</TH>
<TH>State</TH>
<TH>Country</TH>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD> <%= resultset.getString(1) %> </TD>
<TD> <%= resultset.getString(2) %> </TD>
<TD> <%= resultset.getString(3) %> </TD>
<TD> <%= resultset.getString(4) %> </TD>
<TD> <%= resultset.getString(5) %> </TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="hidden" VALUE="<%= current %>">
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Next Data" ONCLICK="moveNext()">
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Previous Data" ONCLICK="movePrevious()">
</FORM>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Step 10: Compile and Run the application

Now we compile the application and then run it on the server and find the following output.

Output

Index.jsp

Index.jsp for next data

Index.jsp for previous data
