Validating User in JSP
Example program for validating user in JSP
In this example we have to develop a JSP application which
will validate user via servlet and JSP page. We are using tomcat server for
running servlet.
Validating user means to find out whether the user is an
existing user. We are using two files UserValidation.jsp and Validation.java
and making the application in "webapps/JSPMultipleForms"
in tomcat server. UserValidation.jsp is taking input through the user and
then after taking these input it will send these values to servlet where all
these inputted values are checked from the data available in database. For
database connection we are taking MySQL as backing database and servlet "Validation.java"
is responsible for making database connection and validating input.
In this
example, we are taking the MySQL database for adding values into database
and this whole application is being deployed in "Tomcat web server".
In our example we have taken path "//192.168.10.59/messagepaging"
for connection to the database. Table for adding data is named as "User"
and input values are user and password.
User Table Structure of MySQL:
create table `user` (
`user` varchar (256),
`password` varchar (256)
);
insert into `user` (`user`, `password`) values('amit','kumar'); |
Code for validating servlet is given as below:
1. Validation.java
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class Validation extends HttpServlet{
private ServletConfig config;
public void init(ServletConfig config)
throws ServletException{
this.config=config;
}
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException,IOException{
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
String connectionURL = "jdbc:mysql://192.168.10.59/messagepaging";
Connection connection=null;
ResultSet rs;
String userName=new String("");
String passwrd=new String("");
response.setContentType("text/html");
try {
// Load the database driver
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
// Get a Connection to the database
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL, "root", "root");
//Add the data into the database
String sql = "select user,password from User";
Statement s = connection.createStatement();
s.executeQuery (sql);
rs = s.getResultSet();
while (rs.next ()){
userName=rs.getString("user");
passwrd=rs.getString("password");
}
rs.close ();
s.close ();
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Exception is ;"+e);
}
if(userName.equals(request.getParameter("user"))
&& passwrd.equals(request.getParameter("pass"))){
out.println("User is Valid");
}
else{
out.println("You are not
a Valid User");
}
}
}
|
"Validation.java" will firstly load the driver. Here for
MySQL "Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");"
will do the working for us.
After loading appropriate driver servlet is making connection with database and
we have stored these values from database into temporary variables.
These temporary variables are responsible for validating user input. Code for
"UserValidation.jsp":
2. UserValidation.jsp
<%@ page language="java" %>
<h2><font color="#0000FF"><b>Validation </b></font>
<br>
<br>
Please enter username and password</h2>
<form name="frm" action="/JSPMultipleForms/Validation" method="Post" >
<b>
Name: </b> <input type="text" name="user" value=""/><br>
<b>
Password:</b><input type="password" name="pass" value=""/>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Check" />
</p>
</form> |
For running and executing servlet we have to do the Servlet-mapping in the
"web.xml". Code for validating servlet "web.xml"
is given as below:
| <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
version="2.4">
<display-name>Welcome to Tomcat</display-name>
<description>
Welcome to Tomcat
</description>
<!-- JSPC servlet mappings start -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Validation</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>Validation</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Validation</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Validation</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<!-- JSPC servlet mappings end -->
</web-app> |
For running this example you have to follow these steps:
1.Create and Save "Validation.java".
2.Compile this java file and place the Validation.class file into classes
folder.
3.Do the servlet mapping in the web.xml
4.Create and Save "UserValidation.jsp" and place it into appropriate
folder.
5.Start the Tomcat Server.
6.Type following line in address bar http://localhost:8080/JSPMultipleForms/UserValidation.jsp.
Output:
If wrong input is given then message will flash "You are not a valid
user".
