search.html

<body>

<form name="search" action="http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp/searchbook.jsp" method="post">
<table align="center">
<tr> <td> Select any field </td> <td> <select name="keyfield" > <option> title</option> <option> author </option> <option> category </option>    <option>pub_year</option> </select> </td> </tr>
<tr> <td> Enter the keyword: </td> <td><input type="text" name="keyword" /> </td> </tr>
<tr> <td> <input type="submit" value="Search" /> </td> <td> <input type="reset" value="reset" /></td></tr>
</table>
</form>

<body>
<table border=2>
<tr> <th>acc<em>no  </th><th>title</th>  <th>category</th><th> no</em>of<em>copies </th>  <th> edition </th>    <th> pub</em>year</th>  <th> price </th>  </tr>
&lt;%
   String keyfield=request.getParameter("keyfield");
   String keyword=request.getParameter("keyword");
   try
    {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:dms"," smartlib","smartlib");
    Statement stmt1=con.createStatement();
    ResultSet rs=stmt1.executeQuery("SELECT a.accno,a.title,a.category,a.no_of_copies,b.edition,c.pub_year,d.price from book_det a,edition b,publication c,price d where (a.accno=b.accno and a.accno=c.accno and a.accno=d.accno) and ('"+keyfield+"'='"+keyword+"')");
    while (rs.next())
    {
        %&gt;
         &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;%=rs.getString(1)%&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;%=rs.getString(2)%&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;%=rs.getString(3)%&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;%=rs.getString(4)%&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;%=rs.getString(5)%&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;%=rs.getString(6)%&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;%=rs.getString(7)%&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;

     &lt;%}
     rs.close();
     stmt1.close();
