The reason may be the the short of knowledge in java :( ,so I'm asking this question,
Here in this piece of code I'm getting dynamic value(from a jsp page) :
<form action="">
<%
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/apps","root","root");
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
String sql = "select * from info;";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
System.out.println(sql);
System.out.println("hi Tirtha");
%>
<center>
<h3>Information of User's</h3>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" border="1" bgcolor="">
<tr>
<th>User Name</th>
<th>Email Id</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<%while(rs.next()){%>
<td><input type="text" name="name" value="<%= rs.getString(1)%>" readonly="readonly">
<td><input type="text" name="email" value="<%= rs.getString(2)%>" readonly="readonly">
</tr>
<%}%>
</table>
</center>
</form>
Now I want to save this data in a csv file(having an export option in it).
Any inputs will be appreciated.
here is a class you can using to export to CSV:
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import User;
public class GenerateCsv
{
private static void generateCsvFile(ArrayList<User> users)
{
String output = "Email, Name\n";
for (User user in users) {
output += user.getEmail() + ", " + user.getName() + "\n";
}
return output;
}
}
Working the MVC way
Here is how your code should be written:
Let's say you have a class called. User.java inside of which there is a static function called get all users
public class User {
String name;
String email;
public static ArrayList<User> getAllUsers() {
// returns all users
...
}
}
Then let's say you have a servlet called UsersServlet which get these users:
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class UsersServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException {
res.setContentType("application/csv");
PrintWriter w = res.getWriter();
ArrayList<User> users = Users.getAllUsers();
w.prinln(GenerateCsv.generateCsvFile(users));
w.flush();
w.close();
}
public void doPost (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException {
...
}
}
in your jsp, for example, you will have a simple anchor tag which calls the servlet (the servlets calls User.java, get data, forms them into a CSV and then outputs it to the browser...). Something like this would work:
<a href='/getCSV' > Export CSV </a>
but please note that you have to link the servlet to the url using web.xml:
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>UsersServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>__package__.UsersServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>UsersServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>getCSV</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
EDIT: Writing to disk instead of sending to browser
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import User;
public class GenerateCsv
{
private static void generateCsvFile(String fileName, ArrayList<User> users)
{
try
{
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(fileName);
writer.append("Email");
writer.append(',');
writer.append("Name");
writer.append('\n');
for (User user in users) {
writer.append(user.getEmail());
writer.append(',');
writer.append(user.getName());
writer.append('\n');
}
writer.flush();
writer.close();
} catch(IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
It is generally bad practice to have code embedded in the JSP, and you would be better off using a servlet, java classes, or a web framework like Spring, JSF, Struts, etc...
However, using your example above. The easiest way would be to create another JSP page like below:
<%#page contentType="text/text" %>
<%
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/apps","root","root");
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
String sql = "select * from info;";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
%>
<%
while(rs.next()){
out.println("\"" + rs.getString(1) + "\", \"" + rs.getString(2) + "\"\n");
}%>
<% //cleanup and close db access %>
This sets the content type to be a text file, so the browser can display it properly. Then it iterates through your recordset and outputs a line with the two fields surrounded by quotes and ends each line with a \n newline character. Then, on your original page, you would just have a link to this new JSP page to download the CSV.
Alternately, you could use an existing library like OpenCSV. This would allow for more complicated needs and may also save headaches by handling escaping or special scenarios automatically.

I'm implementing MVC using JSP and JDBC. I have imported a database class file to my JSP file and I would like to show the data of a DB table. I don't know how I should return the ResultSet from the Java class to the JSP page and embed it in HTML.
How can I achieve this?
In a well designed MVC approach, the JSP file should not contain any line of Java code and the servlet class should not contain any line of JDBC code.
Assuming that you want to show a list of products in a webshop, the following code needs to be created.
A Product class representing a real world entity of a product, it should be just a Javabean.
public class Product {
private Long id;
private String name;
private String description;
private BigDecimal price;
// Add/generate getters/setters/c'tors/equals/hashcode boilerplate.
}
A DAO class which does all the nasty JDBC work and returns a nice List<Product>.
public class ProductDAO {
private DataSource dataSource;
public ProductDAO(DataSource dataSource) {
this.dataSource = dataSource;
}
public List<Product> list() throws SQLException {
List<Product> products = new ArrayList<Product>();
try (
Connection connection = dataSource.getConnection();
PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT id, name, description, price FROM product");
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery();
) {
while (resultSet.next()) {
Product product = new Product();
product.setId(resultSet.getLong("id"));
product.setName(resultSet.getString("name"));
product.setDescription(resultSet.getString("description"));
product.setPrice(resultSet.getBigDecimal("price"));
products.add(product);
}
}
return products;
}
}
A servlet class which obtains the list and puts it in the request scope.
#WebServlet("/products")
public class ProductsServlet extends HttpServlet {
#Resource(name="jdbc/YourDB") // For Tomcat, define as <Resource> in context.xml and declare as <resource-ref> in web.xml.
private DataSource dataSource;
private ProductDAO productDAO;
#Override
public void init() {
productDAO = new ProductDAO(dataSource);
}
#Override
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
try {
List<Product> products = productDAO.list();
request.setAttribute("products", products); // Will be available as ${products} in JSP
request.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/products.jsp").forward(request, response);
} catch (SQLException e) {
throw new ServletException("Cannot obtain products from DB", e);
}
}
}
Finally a JSP file in /WEB-INF/products.jsp which uses JSTL <c:forEach> to iterate over List<Product> which is made available in EL by ${products}, and uses JSTL <c:out> to escape string properties in order to avoid XSS holes when it concerns user-controlled input.
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/format" prefix="fmt" %>
...
<table>
<c:forEach items="${products}" var="product">
<tr>
<td>${product.id}</td>
<td><c:out value="${product.name}" /></td>
<td><c:out value="${product.description}" /></td>
<td><fmt:formatNumber value="${product.price}" type="currency" currencyCode="USD" /></td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
To get it to work, just call the servlet by its URL. Provided that the servlet is annotated #WebServlet("/products") or mapped in web.xml with <url-pattern>/products</url-pattern>, then you can call it by http://example.com/contextname/products

MVC, in a web application context, doesn't consist in using a class from a JSP. It consists in using the following model :
browser sends a request to a web server
the web server is configured so that the request is handled by a servlet or a filter (the controller : Java code, not JSP code)
The servlet/filter usually dispatches the request to a specific class (called an Action, the specific part of the controller), based on configuration/annotations
The action executes the business logic (i.e. fetch the data from the database in your example : the model)
The action forwards the request to a JSP. The role of the JSP is only to generate HTML code (i.e. display your data : the view)
Since the JSP usually uses JSP tags (the JSTL, for example) and the JSP expression language, and since JSP tags and the EL are designed to get information from JavaBeans, you'd better have your data available in the form of JavaBeans or collections of JavaBeans.
The role of the controller (the action class) is thus to fetch the data, to create JavaBean instances containing the data, in a suitable format for the JSP, to put them in request attributes, and then to dispatch to the JSP. The JSP will then iterate through the JavaBean instances and display what they contain.
You should not implement the MVC framework yourself. Use existing ones (Stripes, Struts, etc.)
I don't know how should I return the ResultSet from the class file to the JSP page
Well, you don't.
The point of MVC is to separate your model ( the M DB info in this case ) from your view ( V a jsp, in this case ) in such a way you can change the view without braking to application.
To do this you might use an intermediate object to represent your data ( usually called DTO - after Data Transfer Object -, don't know how they call it these days ), and other object to fetch it ( usually a DAO ).
So basically you have your JSP file, get the request parameters, and then invoke a method from the DAO. The dao, internally has the means to connect to the db and fetch the data and builds a collections of DTO's which are returned to the JSP for rendering.
Something like this extremely simplified ( and insecure ) code:
Employee.java
class Employee {
String name;
int emplid;
}
EmployeeDAO.java
class EmployeeDAO {
... method to connect
etc.
List<Employee> getAllNamed( String name ) {
String query = "SELECT name, emplid FROM employee where name like ?";
ResultSet rs = preparedStatement.executeQuery etc etc.
List<Employee> results = ....
while( rs.hasNext() ) {
results.add( new Employee( rs.getString("name"), rs.getInt("emplid")));
}
// close resources etc
return results;
}
}
employee.jsp
<%
request.setAttribute("employees", dao.getAllNamed( request.getParameter("name") );
%>
<table>
<c:forEach items="${employees}" var="employee">
<tr><td>${employee.emplid}</td><td>${employee.name}</td></tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
I hope this give you a better idea.

This is my database:
I want to insert each jewel in different pages (each jewel have a jsp file)
You can use the <c:forEach > tag

I think it will be better for you to contain the data of the table into a collection such as list and return the list from the Java class and reuse this collection in the JSP.
I was trying to make a simple E-Commerce website using MVC architecture in java. Initially I made a controller servlet which is named TestingServlet,a web.xml file,a bean class in the package com.bean under classes folder named DbBean and a Default.jsp,Header.jsp,Menu.jsp to start with. I compiled bean and the servlet classes. Then finally when I deployed the application on WebLogic server and run it, I got the following error-
As you can see in the log that it says it failed to compile JSP JSP/Menu.jsp which means the problem must be with Menu.jsp. Moreover, it says that in line 28 bean cannot be resolved. So, I checked that part of the code but it looks fine to me. What is causing the problem?
Following are all the files that I made-

The jsp : useBean is for use with Objects that are Java Beans.
Is it the case that DbBean does not adhere to the JavaBeans conventions i.e. have a look at What is a JavaBean exactly? and maybe you could change DBean to adhere to the conventions or you could just drop the use of jsp : useBean and just instansiate and manipulate it in the scriptlet?
I'm implementing MVC using JSP and JDBC. I have imported a database class file to my JSP file and I would like to show the data of a DB table. I don't know how I should return the ResultSet from the Java class to the JSP page and embed it in HTML.

Assuming that you want to show a list of products in a webshop, the following code needs to be created.
A Product class representing a real world entity of a product, it should be just a Javabean.
public class Product {
private Long id;
private String name;
private String description;
private BigDecimal price;
// Add/generate getters/setters/c'tors/equals/hashcode boilerplate.
}
A DAO class which does all the nasty JDBC work and returns a nice List<Product>.
public class ProductDAO {
private DataSource dataSource;
public ProductDAO(DataSource dataSource) {
this.dataSource = dataSource;
}
public List<Product> list() throws SQLException {
List<Product> products = new ArrayList<Product>();
try (
Connection connection = dataSource.getConnection();
PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT id, name, description, price FROM product");
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery();
) {
while (resultSet.next()) {
Product product = new Product();
product.setId(resultSet.getLong("id"));
product.setName(resultSet.getString("name"));
product.setDescription(resultSet.getString("description"));
product.setPrice(resultSet.getBigDecimal("price"));
products.add(product);
}
}
return products;
}
}
A servlet class which obtains the list and puts it in the request scope.
#WebServlet("/products")
public class ProductsServlet extends HttpServlet {
#Resource(name="jdbc/YourDB") // For Tomcat, define as <Resource> in context.xml and declare as <resource-ref> in web.xml.

request.setAttribute("products", products); // Will be available as ${products} in JSP
request.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/products.jsp").forward(request, response);
} catch (SQLException e) {
throw new ServletException("Cannot obtain products from DB", e);
}
}
}
Finally a JSP file in /WEB-INF/products.jsp which uses JSTL <c:forEach> to iterate over List<Product> which is made available in EL by ${products}, and uses JSTL <c:out> to escape string properties in order to avoid XSS holes when it concerns user-controlled input.

<td><c:out value="${product.description}" /></td>
<td><fmt:formatNumber value="${product.price}" type="currency" currencyCode="USD" /></td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
To get it to work, just call the servlet by its URL. Provided that the servlet is annotated #WebServlet("/products") or mapped in web.xml with <url-pattern>/products</url-pattern>, then you can call it by http://example.com/contextname/products

I have created database SQL and filled up. Then I want to implement a MainServlet (code below) that richieve data from database and in a different jsp page, I want to insert that data in section like h1, h2 ecc... I must use the ${} sintax but I don't know how do that.
Briefly, In jsp file (code below, I MUST USE ${} SINTAX) I want to "call" MainServlet and there I want to richieve data from database and view in jsp file.
I hope I have explained correctly, thank you very much!

This is my database:
I want to insert each jewel in different pages (each jewel have a jsp file)
You can use the <c:forEach > tag
you can find a detailed example in the following link example use
I think it will be better for you to contain the data of the table into a collection such as list and return the list from the Java class and reuse this collection in the JSP.
I'm implementing MVC using JSP and JDBC. I have imported a database class file to my JSP file and I would like to show the data of a DB table. I don't know how I should return the ResultSet from the Java class to the JSP page and embed it in HTML.
How can I achieve this?
In a well designed MVC approach, the JSP file should not contain any line of Java code and the servlet class should not contain any line of JDBC code.
Assuming that you want to show a list of products in a webshop, the following code needs to be created.
A Product class representing a real world entity of a product, it should be just a Javabean.
public class Product {
private Long id;
private String name;
private String description;
private BigDecimal price;
// Add/generate getters/setters/c'tors/equals/hashcode boilerplate.
}
A DAO class which does all the nasty JDBC work and returns a nice List<Product>.
public class ProductDAO {
private DataSource dataSource;
public ProductDAO(DataSource dataSource) {
this.dataSource = dataSource;
}
public List<Product> list() throws SQLException {
List<Product> products = new ArrayList<Product>();
try (
Connection connection = dataSource.getConnection();
PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT id, name, description, price FROM product");
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery();
) {
while (resultSet.next()) {
Product product = new Product();
product.setId(resultSet.getLong("id"));
product.setName(resultSet.getString("name"));
product.setDescription(resultSet.getString("description"));
product.setPrice(resultSet.getBigDecimal("price"));
products.add(product);
}
}
return products;
}
}
A servlet class which obtains the list and puts it in the request scope.
#WebServlet("/products")
public class ProductsServlet extends HttpServlet {
#Resource(name="jdbc/YourDB") // For Tomcat, define as <Resource> in context.xml and declare as <resource-ref> in web.xml.
private DataSource dataSource;
private ProductDAO productDAO;
#Override
public void init() {
productDAO = new ProductDAO(dataSource);
}
#Override
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
try {
List<Product> products = productDAO.list();
request.setAttribute("products", products); // Will be available as ${products} in JSP
request.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/products.jsp").forward(request, response);
} catch (SQLException e) {
throw new ServletException("Cannot obtain products from DB", e);
}
}
}
Finally a JSP file in /WEB-INF/products.jsp which uses JSTL <c:forEach> to iterate over List<Product> which is made available in EL by ${products}, and uses JSTL <c:out> to escape string properties in order to avoid XSS holes when it concerns user-controlled input.
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/format" prefix="fmt" %>
...
<table>
<c:forEach items="${products}" var="product">
<tr>
<td>${product.id}</td>
<td><c:out value="${product.name}" /></td>
<td><c:out value="${product.description}" /></td>
<td><fmt:formatNumber value="${product.price}" type="currency" currencyCode="USD" /></td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
To get it to work, just call the servlet by its URL. Provided that the servlet is annotated #WebServlet("/products") or mapped in web.xml with <url-pattern>/products</url-pattern>, then you can call it by http://example.com/contextname/products

MVC, in a web application context, doesn't consist in using a class from a JSP. It consists in using the following model :
browser sends a request to a web server
the web server is configured so that the request is handled by a servlet or a filter (the controller : Java code, not JSP code)
The servlet/filter usually dispatches the request to a specific class (called an Action, the specific part of the controller), based on configuration/annotations
The action executes the business logic (i.e. fetch the data from the database in your example : the model)
The action forwards the request to a JSP. The role of the JSP is only to generate HTML code (i.e. display your data : the view)
Since the JSP usually uses JSP tags (the JSTL, for example) and the JSP expression language, and since JSP tags and the EL are designed to get information from JavaBeans, you'd better have your data available in the form of JavaBeans or collections of JavaBeans.
The role of the controller (the action class) is thus to fetch the data, to create JavaBean instances containing the data, in a suitable format for the JSP, to put them in request attributes, and then to dispatch to the JSP. The JSP will then iterate through the JavaBean instances and display what they contain.
You should not implement the MVC framework yourself. Use existing ones (Stripes, Struts, etc.)
I don't know how should I return the ResultSet from the class file to the JSP page
Well, you don't.
The point of MVC is to separate your model ( the M DB info in this case ) from your view ( V a jsp, in this case ) in such a way you can change the view without braking to application.
To do this you might use an intermediate object to represent your data ( usually called DTO - after Data Transfer Object -, don't know how they call it these days ), and other object to fetch it ( usually a DAO ).
So basically you have your JSP file, get the request parameters, and then invoke a method from the DAO. The dao, internally has the means to connect to the db and fetch the data and builds a collections of DTO's which are returned to the JSP for rendering.
Something like this extremely simplified ( and insecure ) code:
Employee.java
class Employee {
String name;
int emplid;
}
EmployeeDAO.java
class EmployeeDAO {
... method to connect
etc.
List<Employee> getAllNamed( String name ) {
String query = "SELECT name, emplid FROM employee where name like ?";
ResultSet rs = preparedStatement.executeQuery etc etc.
List<Employee> results = ....
while( rs.hasNext() ) {
results.add( new Employee( rs.getString("name"), rs.getInt("emplid")));
}
// close resources etc
return results;
}
}
employee.jsp
<%
request.setAttribute("employees", dao.getAllNamed( request.getParameter("name") );
%>
<table>
<c:forEach items="${employees}" var="employee">
<tr><td>${employee.emplid}</td><td>${employee.name}</td></tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
I hope this give you a better idea.
