please can somebody show me an in-depth example of how to link a jsp to a servlet for processing..what I mean is,... I have this application in three tier, the front end being jsp forwards parameters to servlets for database access through the Dao..I first thought I got the calling of methods wrong from the Dao but then realized the servlets were not in any way connected to the jsps...I tried a couple of tricks like using ~/..servletName when passing the processing to the servlet through the <form action = ""> tag...no jsp in my application is connected to any servlet...its really a shame cos I had no problem with writing every other components but to connect....thank you in advance for your help...

You tie them with the "action" attribute of a form.

The URL of the form action should map to a servlet.
So in your web.xml you have to set up a bunch of servlets and servlet mappings.

So on your jsp



In web.xml



Submitting the form goes to the /myServlet url
That maps to MyCoolServlet and should then invoke the doGet/doPost method of com.mypackage.MyCoolServlet.

And thats about all there is to it.
