Retrieving The Data Posted To A JSP File From HTML File

The document describes how to retrieve data posted from an HTML form in a JSP page. An HTML file called getname.htm contains a form that prompts the user to enter their name. This form posts to a JSP page called showname.jsp. To retrieve the entered name, showname.jsp uses the request.getParameter("username") method, which retrieves the value of the "username" parameter posted from the HTML form. The JSP page then displays "Welcome" and the retrieved name.

Retrieving the data posted to a JSP file from HTML file

Now I will show you how to retrieve the data posted from a HTML file in a JSP page. Consider an html page that prompts the user to enter his/her name, let's call it getname.htm. Here is the code of the html file <html> <head> <title>Enter your name</title> </head> <body> <p>&nbsp;</p> <form method="POST" action="showname.jsp"> <p><font color="#800000" size="5">Enter your name:</font><input type="text" name="username" size="20"></p> <p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"></p> </form> </body> </html> The target of form is "showname.jsp", which displays the name entered by the user. To retrieve the value entered by the user we uses the request.getParameter("username"); code. Here is the code of "showname.jsp" file: <%@page contentType="text/html" %> <!-http://www.roseindia.net/jsp --> <html> <body> <p><font size="6">Welcome :&nbsp; <%=request.getParameter("username") %></font></p> </body>
