Question

hi all I’ve typed out a page that queries the database then inputs something into the database but when I go to load the servlet/jsp page its comes back blank and am unsure what is happening or why? I’m coding in eclipse and after looking at the console and not getting anything printing out I figured there was something wrong with my code but I cannot see the problem.

Here is my servlet

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;

import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;

        super();
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

         HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
            //Set data you want to send back to the request (will be forwarded to the page)

I noticed that your doGet method has not been implemented.
I would assume that your sendBack code is not being called

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
   sendBack(request,response);
}
