Hi,

i have created one servlet for user and password validation considering one servlet example.The thing is when ever i login with database username and password it will redirect to the next page.but when ever i login with invalid username and password it doesnt show the error message with in(like alert message) that login page...shows blank login page.If i set the ${error} in login.jsp after the submit button in form.with out entering any thing it displaying the ${error} message.If i set the response.sendRedirect ("error.html") file in else part instead of request dispatcher it not taking the if(condition) condition at all.As am a beginner in web technologies.So please suggest me a way to work the else part and its error message.

Here is my jsp,servlet,web.xml...

try {

System.out.println(strQuery);



st = conn.createStatement();

//rs=st.executeQuery("select * from user where userID='"+user+"' and password='"+pass+"'");

Think about this line of your code for a bit and then correct it -
