import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.*; 
public class registration extends HttpServlet {
    @Override
    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("text/html");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        Connection con=null;
        Statement st=null;
        ResultSet rs=null;
        SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
try {
            Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
            con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE","ORS","ors");

 // code for inserting date into oracle 10g in the format of oracle


        } catch(ClassNotFoundException c)
        {
            System.out.println(c);
        }
        catch(SQLException se)
        {
            System.out.println(se);
        }
        finally {
            try{
           rs.close();
            st.close();
           con.close();
            }catch(SQLException se)
            {
                System.out.println(se);
            }
            }
