Its been said many times before.
Scriptlet code in a JSP is bad
Database connections in a JSP is worse.

The Database code should be in a bean.
It should run the query, and convert the results into a List of java objects.
Your JSP should receive that List of objects and display it appropriately.

I don't see a form on your page. What are you submitting and to where?

In order to distinguish which button is pressed you need to give each button a distinct value. Or search for each button by name (the former being preferable)

I would suggest doing it as a link:



and then in the addToCart servlet handling this request:

request.getParameter("item") would tell you the id of the item you are wanting to add.
