How to fetch the dropdown values from database and display in jsp

Question

I have two dropdowns in jsp and have to get dropdown list from database and show it in jsp. I am using jsp for the first time . Can you give me an idea to fetch the dropdown

Answer 1

1. Make the database connection and retrieve the query result.
2. Traverse through the result and display the query results.

The example code below demonstrates this in detail.

<%@page import="java.sql.*, java.io.*,listresult"%> //import the required library

<%

String label = request.getParameter("label"); // retrieving a variable from a previous page

Connection dbc = null; //Make connection to the database
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
dbc = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/works", "root", "root");
if (dbc != null) 
{
    System.out.println("Connection successful");
}

ResultSet rs = listresult.dbresult.func(dbc, label); //This function is in the end. The function is defined in another package- listresult

%>



    

        

            

                Label Name:
            

            

                ">
            

            

                
                SELECT

                <% while (rs.next()) {%>

                    "><%=rs.getString("lname")%>
                    

                <%}%>
                
            
        
    



//The function:

public static ResultSet func(Connection dbc, String x)
{
    ResultSet rs = null;
    String sql;
    PreparedStatement pst;
    try
    {
        sql = "select lname from demo where label like '" + x + "'";
        pst = dbc.prepareStatement(sql);
        rs = pst.executeQuery();
    } 
    catch (Exception e) 
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
        String sqlMessage = e.getMessage();
    }
    return rs;
}

I have tried to make this example as detailed as possible. Do ask if you have any queries.
