import java.io.*;

import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class EmpAddServlet extends HttpServlet
{

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response)throws IOException,ServletException
	{
	PrintWriter out=response.getWriter();
	//reading parameter from html form

out.println("U have Entered:"+emp_name);

System.out.println("Hello again!!!");

int x=pst.executeUpdate();*/

Statement st=con.createStatement();
String query="insert into emp values ('"+emp_name+"','"+emp_id+"','"+emp_age+"','"+emp_salary+"','"+dept_id+"','"+emp_pass+"','"+emp_address+"','"+emp_ph+"')";
int x=st.executeUpdate(query);

System.out.println("Hello again 2 !!!");
out.println(x+"Emp Row is updated");
System.out.println(x);
}

catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println('e');
}

}


}

the above code reads values entered in employee reg page which is as follows (javascript part removed)

EmpAddServlet is a java file....I m running this on vista...is it due to vista as it doesnt support certain functionalities...This prog is running on xp with access 2003...in the database all the fields are properly named...also i m using access 2010 in vista...is there some modification in 2010 like the 2003 version does not have a username or password....hope 2010 also doesnt require any username or password...

Deleted

ok...got it...the problem was that emp_id was a primary key in the database...so exception is generated whenever user tries to insert duplicate values....and i was just inserting same test values ...lost 2 days just over this... :(
