Question

I have written a code to add user into DB. I need to redirect to EmpInfo.jsp, when we receive duplicate entries. I need to use more Exceptions for that and also i want to know how to redirect.

    response.setContentType("text/html");
    PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
    Connection conn = null;
    String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/";
    String dbName = "cervlet";
    String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
    String userName = "root"; 
String password = "1234";
int Empid =Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("Empid").toString()); 
String Name = request.getParameter("Name").toString();
int Age =Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("Age").toString()); 
int Salary =Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("Salary").toString());
PreparedStatement stmt;
try {
 Class.forName(driver).newInstance();
 conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url+dbName,userName,password);
 System.out.println("Connected to the database");
 //ArrayList al=null;
 //ArrayList userList =new ArrayList();
 String query = "insert into employee set Empid='"+Empid+"',name='"+Name+"',Age='"+Age+"',Salary='"+Salary+"'";
stmt = (PreparedStatement) conn.prepareStatement(query);
  int i = 0;
try {
   i = stmt.executeUpdate(query);
    }
  catch (SQLException e) {
    String nextj = "/AddUser.jsp";
    RequestDispatcher rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(nextj);
   rd.forward(request, response);
    }
   System.out.println("i="+i);
System.out.println("query: " + query);
//if(i==0)
 //{
  //String nextj = "/EmpInfo.jsp";
    //RequestDispatcher cd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(nextj);
    //cd.forward(request, response);
 //response.sendRedirect("servletRecord");
//}
 response.sendRedirect("/EmpInfo.jsp");
 conn.close();
 System.out.println("Disconnected from database");

} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();

Updates

I need to redirect to EmpInfo.jsp, when it adds a new entry.
After the execution of the method executeUpadte(), i used its return
value to redirect to another page called EmpInfo.jsp.
But its not redirecting. I’m using eclipse. Tell me the common ways to multiple redirection of .jsp pages.

Well, if you are asking how to catch different Exceptions the following code is how you do it:

try {
    ...
    // Code that may throw a few types of exceptions
    ...
} catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
    // handle very specific exceptions
} catch (IOException ioe) {
    // handle less specific exceptions
} catch (Exception e) {
    // handle the most generic exception case
} 

This will allow you to handle multiple exception types in one code block.
