Update Employee Records

In this Example we can Add and Update the Details of Employee using Servlet. We create four file employee.jsp, viewdata.jsp, EmployeeAdd.java and viewdata.java. When a web page ("employee.jsp") run on browser then it will called to Servlet ("EmployeeAdd.java") and add the new Employee Record in the database and provide a link on browser, by this link user redirect to Servlet "viewdata". This Servlet retrieves the data and show on browser.

Step 1: Source code of employee.jsp to add and update the Employee records.

Step 4: Mapping the servlet (timer.java) in to web.xml file:
