Question

I have an Html form from that i need to pass values to servlet using jquery and there it will validates the information and returns the result.But when i try to pass the data using jQuery.
The servlet showing that null value received.

<div class="ulogin">
<h2>Login</h2>
<div id="error"></div>
        <form action="Login" method="post" id="spsignin">
        <input type="text" name="uname" class="text validate[required]" id="name" placeholder="Username"/>
        <input type="password" name="pass" class="text validate[required]" id="password" placeholder="Password"/>
        <input type="submit" value="" id="memberlogin"/>
        </form>
</div>

My javascript file is

 $(document).ready(function() {

//Stops the submit request
$("#spsignin").submit(function(e){
       e.preventDefault();
});

//checks for the button click event
$("#memberlogin").click(function(e){

        //get the form data and then serialize that
        dataString = $("#spsignin").serialize();
        dataString1 = $("#spsignin").serialize();

        var uname = $("input#name").val();
        var pass = $("input#password").val();
         $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "Login",
            data:'uname=' +encodeURIComponent(uname) &'pass=' + encodeURIComponent(pass),
            dataType: "json",

            //if received a response from the server
            success: function( data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
                 if(data.success)
                 {
                     $("#error").html("<div><b>success!</b></div>"+data);
                  }
                 //display error message
                 else {
                     $("#error").html("<div><b>Information is Invalid!</b></div>"+data);
                 }
            },

            //If there was no resonse from the server
            error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
                 console.log("Something really bad happened " + textStatus);
                 $("#error").html(jqXHR.responseText);
            },

            //capture the request before it was sent to server
            beforeSend: function(jqXHR, settings){
                 //disable the button until we get the response
                $('#memberlogin').attr("disabled", true);
            },

            complete: function(jqXHR, textStatus){
                //enable the button
                $('#memberlogin').attr("disabled", false);
            }

        });       
 });
});

And the servlet is

  package skypark;

  import java.io.IOException;
  import java.io.PrintWriter;
  import java.sql.Connection;
  import java.sql.DriverManager;
  import java.sql.PreparedStatement;

    Boolean suc;

            out.println(suc);
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException | SQLException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }


    out.flush();
      out.close();
}
   public Boolean check(String uname,String pass) throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException

        while(rs.next())
        {
            if (uname.equalsIgnoreCase(rs.getString("uname")) || uname.equalsIgnoreCase(rs.getString("email"))) 
            {
    rs.close();                                                              
            ps.close();                                                            
            ps = null;               con.close();                                                            
         con = null;

       break;

  if(i==0)

  }
return success;

}

{
    doPost(request,response);
}
  }

I think error is with jquery. please any one help me to overcome from this…

Answer 1

The problem is with this line:

data:'uname=' +encodeURIComponent(uname) &'pass=' + encodeURIComponent(pass)

which should be

data: 'uname='+encodeURIComponent(uname)+'&'+'pass='+encodeURIComponent(pass)

note the missing + after encodeURIComponent(uname)
