You know that getMonth() returns a number. What do your URL's look like??

String[] array = request.getParameterValues("paraname"); ?

Plus, you haven't asked a question. If you did, I might be able to answer it.

Yes, you are lost. This is a JSP forum, not javascript. ;)

Yes, but he has everything written in C++, so that's why I asked what he wanted done in java.

What exactly do you expect from java?

I'm a little confused here. Lets say this is an upload page were the user enters the path or clicks the browse button, whichever he/she prefers. How exactly do you get that file off their computer...

Okay, that makes more sense. So basicly it comes down to the popups "blowing up" in the users face, which I've always tried to avoid. I guess you could have both validations as an option to suit...

Maybe I don't understand the context. Wouldn't it be better in many ways to have a browse button(say the user wants to upload something) even if he/she does know the URL?

why would you allow the user to enter the path anyway?(not that it's a bad thing) Why can't you use a file browser?

I'm new to the javascript and html thing. I really don't think it's much fun I'm trying to find use for it. It's hard going from java to something like that :sad:

I believe I will try the...

Should I use simpler technologies like javascript to do this?

Is there advantages of using cgi type scripts like servlets and jsp as opposed to simple validation with something like javascript?

I don't think there is a "pretty" way of doing this. You could create a flag in the servlet context object(using a session listener, i think), or you could somehow use a cookie(stupid idea).

I'm...

I've created an html form that allows the user to login, or register.

Here is what I've thought about(just for the registration page, not login):

HTML FORM --> servlet ---> servlet calls java...

First of all, you should have some of that in a try-catch clause. That could help you out in figuring out the error. Then, since your using sql, make sure the URL passed to the DriverManager is...

I don't know much about starting the j2ee server, but I always thought it was the -verbose command that did it. Am I wrong?

How many hosts have you tried? I would think you should be able to get a free webhost for that. I could be wrong though.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I think I'll try it and stick around here to get some extra help if I run into anything difficult. It will be a while before I can start because I won the state...

I just realized that it's a study guide for the Component developer exam. Maybe that will be a good thing, instead of bad.

Thanks for the reply. I've got a new book now; it's called "Head first servlets and JSP"...it's by O'Reily and written in a different format than most books, and I'm curious as to how that will go. ...

I started reading this old book about jsp, and I'm having a few problems getting started. First of all, it says that I need to set these environment variables: Java_HOME, and J2EE_HOME. I don't see...

I rewrote it, but you really need to work on your conventions: indenting, and naming.
