JSP Form Example with JDBC and MySQL Database

In this example, we will design below  Employee Registration  JSP page and store Form parameters into the MySQL database:

MySQL Database Setup

Let's create a database named "mysql_database" in MySQL. Now, we create an employee table using below DDL script:

CREATE TABLE `employee` (
   `id` int(3) NOT NULL,
   `first_name` varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
   `last_name` varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
   `username` varchar(250) DEFAULT NULL,
   `password` varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
   `address` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL,
   `contact` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL,
   PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci;
SELECT * FROM mysql_database.employee; 

Create a JavaBean - Employee.java

Let's create an Employee JavaBean class which we will use in JSP action tags.

package net.javaguides.jsp.jdbc.bean;

import java.io.Serializable;

/**
 * JavaBean class used in jsp action tags.
 * @author Ramesh Fadatare
 */
public class Employee implements Serializable {
    /**
     * 
     */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1 L;
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    private String username;
    private String password;
    private String address;
    private String contact;
    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }
    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }
    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }
    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }
    public String getUsername() {
        return username;
    }
    public void setUsername(String username) {
        this.username = username;
    }
    public String getPassword() {
        return password;
    }
    public void setPassword(String password) {
        this.password = password;
    }
    public String getAddress() {
        return address;
    }
    public void setAddress(String address) {
        this.address = address;
    }
    public String getContact() {
        return contact;
    }
    public void setContact(String contact) {
        this.contact = contact;
    }
}

Create an EmployeeDao.java

We will separate JDBC accessing code separate from JSP. So let's create an EmployeeDao class under net.javaguides.jsp.jdbc.database package and add the following code to it:

package net.javaguides.jsp.jdbc.database;

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.SQLException;

import net.javaguides.jsp.jdbc.bean.Employee;

public class EmployeeDao {

    public int registerEmployee(Employee employee) throws ClassNotFoundException {
        String INSERT_USERS_SQL = "INSERT INTO employee" +
            "  (id, first_name, last_name, username, password, address, contact) VALUES " +
            " (?, ?, ?, ?, ?,?,?);";

        int result = 0;

        Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

        try (Connection connection = DriverManager
            .getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mysql_database?useSSL=false", "root", "root");

            // Step 2:Create a statement using connection object
            PreparedStatement preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(INSERT_USERS_SQL)) {
            preparedStatement.setInt(1, 1);
            preparedStatement.setString(2, employee.getFirstName());
            preparedStatement.setString(3, employee.getLastName());
            preparedStatement.setString(4, employee.getUsername());
            preparedStatement.setString(5, employee.getPassword());
            preparedStatement.setString(6, employee.getAddress());
            preparedStatement.setString(7, employee.getContact());

            System.out.println(preparedStatement);
            // Step 3: Execute the query or update query
            result = preparedStatement.executeUpdate();

        } catch (SQLException e) {
            // process sql exception
            
        }
        return result;
    }
}

Create a employeeregister.jsp

Let's design employee registration HTML form with following fields:

• firstName
• lastName
• username
• password
• address
• contact

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
    pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>

    <head>
        <meta charset="ISO-8859-1">
        <title>Insert title here</title>
    </head>

    <body>
        <h1>Employee Register Form</h1>
        <form action="employeedetails.jsp" method="post">
            <table style="with: 50%">
                <tr>
                    <td>First Name</td>
                    <td><input type="text" name="firstName" /></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td>Last Name</td>
                    <td><input type="text" name="lastName" /></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td>UserName</td>
                    <td><input type="text" name="username" /></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td>Password</td>
                    <td><input type="password" name="password" /></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td>Address</td>
                    <td><input type="text" name="address" /></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td>Contact No</td>
                    <td><input type="text" name="contact" /></td>
                </tr>
            </table>
            <input type="submit" value="Submit" /></form>
    </body>

    </html>

Create a employeedetail.jsp

After an employee successfully registered then this page show a succesful message on screen:

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
 pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@page import="net.javaguides.jsp.jdbc.database.*"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="ISO-8859-1">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>

 <jsp:useBean id="employee"
  class="net.javaguides.jsp.jdbc.bean.Employee" />

 <jsp:setProperty property="*" name="employee" />

 <%
  EmployeeDao employeeDao = new EmployeeDao();
  int status = employeeDao.registerEmployee(employee);
  if (status > 0) {
   out.print("You are successfully registered");
  }
 %>
</body>
</html>

Demo

It's time to see a demo of the above development. Deploy this web application in tomcat server.

Employee Registration

Once you deploy this application successfully then hit this link into a browser - http://localhost:8080/jsp-jdbc-mysql-example/employeeregister.jsp
