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" %>

<!--

<html>

<body>

<p><font size="6">Welcome :&nbsp; <%=request.getParam
eter("username")%></font></p>

</body>

</html>
