I have this Code…

ifsDAO.java

package source;

public class ifsDAO {

private Database database;

public ifsDAO(Database database) {
this.database = database;

}

public List<ifsBean> list() throws SQLException {
Connection connection = null;
PreparedStatement statement = null;
ResultSet resultSet = null;
List<ifsBean> ifs_array = new ArrayList<ifsBean>();



try {

connection = database.getConnection();
statement = connection.prepareStatement("select * from emp_details");

while (resultSet.next()) {

ifs_array.add(arraylist);
}
} finally {

if (statement != null) try { statement.close(); } catch (SQLException logOrIgnore) {}
if (connection != null) try { connection.close(); } catch (SQLException logOrIgnore) {}
}

return ifs_array;
}
}

ifsBean.java

}

Database.java

package source;

import java.sql.*;

}
this.url = url;
this.username = username;

}

public Connection getConnection() throws SQLException {
return DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
}
}

ifsServlet.java

package source;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.*;


public class ifsServlet extends HttpServlet {

private ifsDAO ifsDAO;


@Override
public void init() throws ServletException {
String driver = "org.postgresql.Driver";
String url = "jdbc:postgresql://localhost/mydb";
String username = "user";
String password = "pass";


Database database = new Database(driver, url, username, password);
this.ifsDAO = new ifsDAO(database);
}


@Override
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {

try {
List<ifsBean> ifs_array = ifsDAO.list();

request.setAttribute("ifs_array", ifs_array);
request.getRequestDispatcher("ifslist.jsp").forward(request, response);
} catch (SQLException e) {
throw new ServletException("Cannot retrieve areas", e);
}
}
}

ifslist.java

<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>

<h1>Hello</h1>
<table>
<c:forEach items="${ifs_array}" var="array">
<tr>
<td>${array.fname}</td>
<td>${array.sname}</td>
<td>${array.town}</td>

</tr>
</c:forEach>



</table>

</body>
</html>

I can display all the data and it works very well

however how can I filter the results here using a filter or a link and parameters…

Example: http://www.example.com?id=parameter

    Your question is a bit broad, but here are few tips:

    • I assume you know how to perform another GET request with extra ?name=parameter to the same servlet.

    • In your servlet’s doGet() method you need to obtain the value of name parameter:

      String name = request.getParameter("name");

      this will return null if name= parameter was not present

    • Pass your name to DAO layer. You will need an extra parameter to list() method:

      List<ifsBean> ifs_array = ifsDAO.list(name);

    • In your DAO you need to take advantage of this parameter:

      connection.prepareStatement("select * from emp_details WHERE fname = ?");

      Then you need to pass your name to the query, see Using Prepared Statements for details.

    That’s it! Your code uses very low-level structures, but looks fine besides that.
