JSP Programs Database Connectivity with
MySQL
To connect Java application with the MySQL database, we need to follow 5 following
steps.
In this example we are using MySql as the database. So we need to know following
informations for the mysql database:
1. Driver class: The driver class for the mysql database is com.mysql.jdbc.Driver.
2. Connection URL: The connection URL for the mysql database
is jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sonoo where jdbc is the API, mysql is the
database, localhost is the server name on which mysql is running, we may also
use IP address, 3306 is the port number and sonoo is the database name. We
may use any database, in such case, we need to replace the cse with our
database name.
3. Username: The default username for the mysql database is root.
4. Password: It is the password given by the user at the time of installing the
mysql database. In this example, we are going to use root as the password.
Let's first create a table in the mysql database, but before creating table, we need to
create database first.
1. create database cse;
2. use cse;
3. create table studentname (firstname varchar(80), lastname varchar(80));
Example to Connect Java Application with mysql database
Files creation
Step 1: Open the path C:\xampp\tomcat\webapps\ROOT
Step 2: Create One folder Name Ex; csea
Step 3: open C:\xampp\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\csea

Step 4: Here create our files example
form.jsp and reg.jsp
Database Setup Connection with Tomcat Server
To connect JSP (java) application with the mysql database, mysqlconnector.jar file is
required to be loaded.
download the jar file mysql-connector.jar
C:\xampp\tomcat\lib
Copy mysql-connector.jar file to above lib folder

Source code:
form.jsp
<html>
<body>
<form action = "reg.jsp" method = "GET">
first name: <input type = "text" name = "fname">
<br/>
lastname: <input type = "text" name = "lname" > <br/>
<input type = "Submit" value = "insert" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
reg.jsp
<%@ page import ="java.sql.*" %>
Dr Ravi Babu, CSE, GST, GITAM HYD
<%
String first_name = request.getParameter("fname");
String last_name = request.getParameter("lname");
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/cse", "root", "");
Statement st = con.createStatement();
//ResultSet rs;
st.executeUpdate("insert into studentname(firstname,lastname)values('" + first_name + "','" +
last_name + "')");
out.print("Registration Successfull!"+"<a href='loginform.jsp'>Go to insert again</a>");
%>
Execution Procedure
Step 1: Open xampp control panel
Run
Dr Ravi Babu, CSE, GST, GITAM HYD
Apache Press Start button
Similary MySql and Tomcat
Dr Ravi Babu, CSE, GST, GITAM HYD
Now Press Admin button for Tomcat
Type the path in the above browser
Dr Ravi Babu, CSE, GST, GITAM HYD
localhost:8080/csea/form.jsp
Enter data to the files and submit button
