how to get an editable text field in a servlet( out.println) statement

[Moieen Khatri]

Hi ,

I have a situation where i need to show a prepopulated text field which should be editable in a servlet. This editable text area should then be saved in to an oracle table.
Can someone please help me as to how can I implement this.

Thanks

Have you been though this? Its a good place to start.

If you have what part are you stuck on? What have you got so far?

I have written this code but cannot get the value of the variable in the text field:

String owner = dmmc.cabinet_owner;
out.println("<form>");
out.println("<input type='text' name='owner' value='<%=name%>'>");
System.out.println(" the value of the cabinet owner is " + owner );
out.println("</form>");

The value printed in the text field is <%=name%> but the value of the String owner variable should be printed

Please can some point out where I am making mistake?

Thanks

"<%=name%>" is JSP notation, but you're not using JSP. Any anyway, the name of your variable is "owner", not "name". Try this:

out.println("<input type='text' name='owner' value='"+owner+"'>");
