When I execute this code its not allowing valid login and password.
i tried printing the values to see if its comparing wrong values but the same values are being displayed. i think the if statement is not working fine. does any one know what could be the problem with the if statement or any other possible problem,....

Hello thank you so much for your suggestion ...I really appreciate it .. I went through the MVC example ,but i do not know java beans and servlets . More over i am very curious to know whats wrong with the code i wrote here

Hello,

Just try to use trim() for id and pin i.e when retrieving from database and then compare with loginid and loginpin.

I hope it solves the problem.

Thank you so much Deepali... It worked
