Hello, thanks for your time.

Jsp + javaBean will not run in tomcat on local host http://localhost:8080/is/scannerForm/process.jsp, when i run it in eclipse though my local tomcat it actually does work and i can step through the jsp page as-well as the .java pages and i can see where they are saving variables into the bean and all is working with no errors. When it gets to the method in the bean to submit the accessed data to a oracle database(InsertmainElement()) the connection succeeds and it does submit though eclipse but when run by http://localhost:8080/is/scannerForm/process.jsp it will not submit to the data base. but will not generate any errors, checked tomcat logs not much there can be posted if it will help. Ive been stuck on this for a few days now.

:-/Anyone can help would be greatly appreciated.

i also have another class called DataAccess that populates the drop down on the process.jsp page. This page works all the time when i run it in eclipse and in a browser and shows the gathered data but the DataFormBean is where the trouble is. Thanks

what i have come up so far

servlet(the generated servlet)needs to be executed and put in the xml, not the default jsp page.

or 2 instances of the tomcat server one in eclipse one in tomcat and wrong classpaths.
