i’m trying to create a registration system using jsp, beans and servlets. Registration process seems to be ok, but everytime data is supposed to be stored into database, rows are only filled with NULLs. Im a newbie in this subject so i would really apreciate your help!
Here is the code of this “system”:
ragister.html
<html>
<body >
<form action="/Ragis/proces.jsp" method=post>
<center>

Briefly: ragister.html -> proces.jsp, if all info valid -> Registration.java with sending data to db, else retry.jsp with error description till everything is ok.
It seems to work preety fine, but in database i get a table with row filled with nulls 🙁
Probably i made mistake trying to read data in Registration.java.
Please, please help me and sory if i am unclear anywhere.
You are trying to submit a blank form.
There is no textfield within this form. First correct this.
