Hello all,
Greetings!!!
I am new to this forum and also to Eclipse..
Have created index.jsp under WebContent in Eclipse. Having firstname and surname text boxes with submit button. Contents look like :
<form action="GreetingServlet" method="POST">
First Name: <input type="text" name="firstName" size="20"><br>
Surname: <input type="text" name="surname" size="20">
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
and created GreetingServlet by right clicking ProjectName(HelloServlets) -> New -> Projects -> Servlet
Contents look like:
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
String firstName = request.getParameter("firstName").toString();
String surname = request.getParameter("surname").toString();
}
The problem is that, variables out,firstName,surname are underlined with yellow line in Eclipse's default browser . and when i keep the cursor on that variables then it displays warning message like "The local variable is never read".
SO i guess no contact between jsp and servlet files.. but when i submit the page is directing to
http://localhost:8080/HelloServlets/GreetingServlet
but its blank .. Pls Help to execute this program correctly in Eclipse
Thanks in advance
Regards
