Here is a code to ease the Qn.
//all req imports
public class Selection extends HttpServlet
{
Connection con;
Statement stmt;
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
{
super.init(config);
// initializing database drivers
String driverName,url,user,password;
Driver driver;
try
{
driverName = "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";//using JdbcOdbc bridge
driver = (Driver)Class.forName(driverName).newInstance();// registering driver
url = "jdbc dbc:Promo"; // Data Source Name
user = "";
password = "";
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,password);
stmt = con.createStatement();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse res)
throws IOException, ServletException
{
String chbxeCode = new String();
String chbxproDate = new String();
String chbxproPost = new String();
String query = new String();
String str = null;
boolean flag = false;
String eCode = null;
String ePromoDate = null;
String ePromoPost = null;
Object obj = null;
PrintWriter pw = null;
res.setContentType("text/html");
pw = res.getWriter();
query = "Select ";
str = req.getParameter("Field_Names"); // GETTING FIELD NAMES
query = query + str + " from Promotion";
chbxeCode = chbxeCode+ req.getParameter("eCode"); // GETTING STATUS OF CHECKBOX
chbxproDate = chbxproDate + req.getParameter("proDate");
chbxproPost = chbxproPost + req.getParameter("proPost");
// NOW QUERY FORMED HERE IN BETWEEN
// ACCORDING TO CHECKBOX
pw.println(query);// this prints query as just to verify if properly constructed , & IT SHOWS XPECTED QUERY
// NOW MANAGEMENT OF DATABASE
try
{
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query); // here is a problem
pw.println("Yes i came inside try !");// IT DOESNT PRINT THIS STATEMENT
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
int numcols = rsmd.getColumnCount();
// TITLE THE TABLE WITH RESULT SET'S COLUMN LABELS
// ..........code
}
catch(SQLException e)
{
}
}
public void destroy()
{
try
{
stmt.close();
con = null;
}
catch(SQLException e)
{
}
}
}

ur query u've written is
Select Promotion_Date from Promotion where Emp_Code = a4
probably Emp_Code must be a field of text,so a4 should be in single or double quotes,
(run the sql query seperately and confirm its executing)
