I've just posted an example project that does this:
http://simple.souther.us/not-so-simple.html

It's written with an MVC architecture but it should give you the basic idea.

This is the simplest way...
My sample code..


buf1.append("<select name=\"LocationB\">");
buf1.append("<option value=\"\">-Location-</option>");
db.setResultSet("SELECT distinct CLEAR_LOCATION FROM PMS.VW_BILL_PROJECTREQUEST order by CLEAR_LOCATION");
rs = db.getResultSet();
while(rs.next()) {
buf1.append("<option value=\"" + rs.getString("CLEAR_LOCATION").trim() + "\">" + rs.getString("CLEAR_LOCATION").trim() + "</option>");
}
buf1.append("</select>");
tLocB = buf1.toString();
buf1.delete(0, buf1.length());
rs = null;


and down in in the jsp replace the select box portion with ....
<%= tLocB%>

Hi,
Do you want the java code which is embedded in JSP to populate a ComboBox.

hi sarika,
The code uses MS Access as database for JDBC. This is just a sample code. But the logic will be same for all databases.

<html>
<head>
<title>Combo Box Data from Database</title>
</head>
<%@ page import="java.sql.*"%>

<body>
<%
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
String url = "jdbc dbc SN_Name";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
Statement s = con.createStatement();

ResultSet re = s.executeQuery("select * from Table_Name");
%>
<h2>Username from Database Modified: </h2>
<select>
<%
while(re.next())
{
String un=re.getString(Field_Name);
%>
<option value="<%= un%>"><%= un%></option>
<%
}
%>
</select>

</body>
</html>
 
My first bit of advice is that if you are going to be a mime, you shouldn't talk. Even the tiny ad is nodding:
