    User this function each time you parse your string to int. getIntParameter returns 0 when parameter contains letters or null, otherwise it returns int vale.

    public int getIntParameter(String strParamval){
    
            int nRetVal=0;
            if((strParamval != null) && (!strParamval.matches("\\d*")))
                return nRetVal;
            try{
                nRetVal = Integer.parseInt(strParamval);
            }catch(NumberFormatException nfe){
            }
            return nRetVal;
        }
    

    In doPost function,

    capacity = getIntParameter(request.getParameter("capacity"));
    id = getIntParameter(request.getParameter("id")); 
    user_id = getIntParameter(request.getParameter("user_id")); 
    subject_id = getIntParameter(request.getParameter("subject_id")); 
    

    instead of

    capacity = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("capacity"));
    id = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("id")); 
    user_id = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("user_id")); 
    subject_id = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("subject_id"));
