Build a Servlet-Based Application that Executes SQL Statements Against a Database - Prerequisites

(Page 2 of 7 )

This tutorial is an excerpt from chapter 11 of Murach's Java Servlets and JSP  by Andrea Steelman and Joel Murach. It assumes that you have a basic understanding of the Java language, servlets, and JavaServer Pages. If you don't, you might be interested in Murach's Beginning Java 2 or Murach's Java Servlets and JSP.

This tutorial also assumes that an appropriate servlet/JSP container and database server are available on the server that you're using. The source code for this tutorial has been tested using Tomcat 4.0 and MySQL, but it should work with other servlet/JSP containers, and it should work for most database servers if you supply a valid driver and connection string for that database.

Source Code

Before you begin this tutorial, you may want to download the source code for this application. That way, you can open the source code in your favorite text editor to see how it all fits together.
