I am trying to handle the form-data and put it in the data base

  • 0

I am trying to handle the form-data and put it in the data base derbi that comes with netbeans.The server i am using is Glassfish. After filling the form when i click the submit data button, according to the action handler the request should follow to a servlet named FormHandler.do but when i try to reach out to the page FormHandler.do this is the error message displayed by the browser :

This webpage is not found
No webpage was found for the web address: 
file:///W:/UnderTest/WebApplication_GLASSFISH/src/java/FormHandler/FormHandler.do
Error 6 (net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND): The file or directory could not be found.

But the file is there in the same directory as the html file (that has form). This is the type of url i give in the form tag:

<form method="post" action="FormHandler.do"> 
<b>Name:</b><input type="text" name="Name" /> <br /> <br />
<b>Email:</b><input type="email" name="Email" /> <br /> <br />
<b>Password:</b><input type="password" name="Password" /> <br /> <br />
<input type="submit" value="Register" />

What could be the reason for this problem ?

enter image description here

(After the request goes to the servlet FormHandler.do it checks (as per logic) if the text fields are empty. If they are empty it forwards the request to a servlet that shows the errors and if correct it inserts that data into the database and shows the success servlet.)

    No webpage was found for the web address:
    file:///W:/UnderTest/WebApplication_GLASSFISH/src/java/FormHandler/FormHandler.do

    You need to access web resources by a HTTP path, not by a local disk file system path. Something like as:

    http://localhost:8080/WebApplication_GLASSFISH/FormHandler.do

    The /WebApplication_GLASSFISH part is the context path. It’s unclear which one you’re using, but this information is printed in the server’s startup log. Something like as this:

    INFO: WebApplication_GLASSFISH was successfully deployed in 3,770 milliseconds.

    You need to make sure that the URL in your browser address bar matches this.

    Also, HTML files should go in “Web Pages”, not in “Source Packages”. After you move the Registration.html into “Web Pages”, you can open it by

    http://localhost:8080/WebApplication_GLASSFISH/Registration.html

    This way the form will submit to the proper servlet URL assuming that you’ve a 

    <form action="FormHandler.do">

    This all is rather trivial. I’d suggest to go through a bit decent Servlet book/tutorial once again. Put your mouse above the servlets tag which you put below the question and click at the info link to get a good starting point.
