Java Servlet and JDBC Example | Insert data in MySQL
Prerequisites: Servlet, JDBC Connectivity
To start with interfacing Java Servlet Program with JDBC Connection:
1. Proper JDBC Environment should set-up along with database creation.
2. To do so, download the mysql-connector.jar file from the internet,
3. As it is downloaded, move the jar file to the apache-tomcat server folder,
4. Place the file in lib folder present in the apache-tomcat directory.
5. To start with the basic concept of interfacing:
Step 1: Creation of Database and Table in MySQL
As soon as jar file is placed in the folder, create a database and table in
MySQL,
mysql> create database demoprj;
Query OK, 1 row affected (4.10 sec)
mysql> use demoprj
Database changed
mysql> create table demo(id int(10), string varchar(20));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.93 sec)
mysql> desc demo;
+--------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+--------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| id | int(10) | YES | | NULL | |
| string | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL | |
+--------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
2 rows in set (0.40 sec)
Step 2: Implementation of required Web-pages
Create a form in HTML file, where take all the inputs required to insert
data into the database. Specify the servlet name in it, with the POST
method as security is important aspects in database connectivity.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Insert Data</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Give Servlet reference to the form as an instances
GET and POST services can be according to the problem statement-->
<form action="./InsertData" method="post">
<p>ID:</p>
<!-- Create an element with mandatory name attribute,
so that data can be transfer to the servlet using getParameter() -->
<input type="text" name="id"/>
<br/>
<p>String:</p>
<input type="text" name="string"/>
<br/><br/><br/>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Output:
Submit the data (with validation) as all the required data are inserted.
Step 3: Creation of Java Servlet program with JDBC Connection
To create a JDBC Connection steps are
1. Import all the packages
2. Register the JDBC Driver
3. Open a connection
4. Execute the query, and retrieve the result
5. Clean up the JDBC Environment
Create a separate class to create a connection of database, as it is a lame process to
writing the same code snippet in all the program. Create a .java file which returns a
Connection object.
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
// This class can be used to initialize the database connection
public class DatabaseConnection {
protected static Connection initializeDatabase()
throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException
// Initialize all the information regarding
// Database Connection
String dbDriver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
String dbURL = "jdbc:mysql:// localhost:3306/";
// Database name to access
String dbName = "demoprj";
String dbUsername = "root";
String dbPassword = "root";
Class.forName(dbDriver);
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL + dbName,
dbUsername,
dbPassword);
return con;
}
Step 4: To use this class method, create an object in Java Servlet program
Below program shows Servlet Class which create a connection and insert the data in
the demo table,
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
// Import Database Connection Class file
import code.DatabaseConnection;
// Servlet Name
@WebServlet("/InsertData")
public class InsertData extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
try {
// Initialize the database
Connection con = DatabaseConnection.initializeDatabase();
// Create a SQL query to insert data into demo table
// demo table consists of two columns, so two '?' is used
PreparedStatement st = con
.prepareStatement("insert into demo values(?, ?)");
// For the first parameter,
// get the data using request object
// sets the data to st pointer
st.setInt(1, Integer.valueOf(request.getParameter("id")));
// Same for second parameter
st.setString(2, request.getParameter("string"));
// Execute the insert command using executeUpdate()
// to make changes in database
st.executeUpdate();
// Close all the connections
st.close();
con.close();
// Get a writer pointer
// to display the successful result
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<html><body><b>Successfully Inserted"
+ "</b></body></html>");
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Step 5: Get the data from the HTML file
To get the data from the HTML file, the request object is used which
calls getParameter() Method to fetch the data from the channel. After successful
insertion, the writer object is created to display a success message.
After insertion operation from Servlet, data will be reflected in MySQL Database
Output:
