Currently I'm using netbeans 7.2 using glassfish server. I want to put two numbers using HTML+ Servelet. I'm just a beginner I have no idea. Would somebody help me? I also don't know why I got error: Incompatible types required int found string although I used parseInt to convert String into Integer. Here's the code:

INDEX.JSP:

<%-- 
    Document   : index
    Created on : Oct 3, 2012, 4:06:09 PM
    Author     : len
--%>

<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
        <title>JSP Page</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <form="add/addpackage">
            Name:<input type="text" name="name" value="" />
            Num1:<input type="text" name="num1" value="" />
            Num2:<input type="text" name="num2" value="" />
            <br>
            <input type="submit" value="button" />
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

        }
    }

    public String getServletInfo() {
        return "Short description";
    }// </editor-fold>
}

int a = request.getParameter("num1");
int b = request.getParameter("num2");

here a and b are integer variable,
request.getparameter() method will return integer value,
change those variable type as string

Integer.parseInt

this method reuqires string as argument

request.getParameter() method returns the value in string.

So you have to take String object to store the value of that text field instead of int a write String a and String b.

Then convert into integer using INTEGER.parseInt(a) and then add both.

Thank you.
