User Registration using Jsp, Servlet and Jdbc
In this post we will create a simple user registration example using Jsp, Servlet, Jdbc in eclipse and tomcat. We will create a user registration form using jsp. On submitting the form, control goes to a servlet. The servlet calls the dao class function, that further communicates with the mysql database using jdbc. And the user registration data is inserted into the database.
Following technologies are being used
- Jdk
- Eclipse
- Tomcat
- Mysql
- Servlet
- Jsp
- Jdbc

Lets Begin
Step 1: Create database table for member
Create a new database called userdb in mysql. In the userdb database create a table called member.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | <code>CREATE TABLE `member` ( `uname` varchar(45) NOT NULL, `password` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL, `email` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL, `phone` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`uname`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci;</code> |
Step 2: Create a memberRegister.jsp for the user registration

Step 3: Create a dto class Member.java
This is a dto or data transfer object class that has fields according to the fields in the database table.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 | public class Member { private String uname,password,email,phone; public Member() { super(); } public Member(String uname, String password, String email, String phone) { super(); this.uname = uname; this.password = password; this.email = email; this.phone = phone; } public String getUname() { return uname; } public void setUname(String uname) { this.uname = uname; } public String getPassword() { return password; } public void setPassword(String password) { this.password = password; } public String getEmail() { return email; } public void setEmail(String email) { this.email = email; } public String getPhone() { return phone; } public void setPhone(String phone) { this.phone = phone; } } |
Step 4: Create a Servlet named Register.java
Control should go from the jsp to a servlet, so we will create a servlet here named Register.java. When jsp form is submitted control will go to the post method.
From the post method a dao class function is called that inputs into the database using jdbc.

Step 5: Create a Dao class RegisterDao.java
The dao class contains the jdbc code to insert into the mysql database member table.

Step 6: Access the jsp page from browser
Open the url http://localhost:8080/registration/memberRegister.jsp from the browser. Fill up the required fields and hit the submit. Data will be entered in to the member table.
This completes the the jsp servlet jdbc user registration example.
Very Helpful.
Nice explanation.
