Here we produce two jsp pages, in first the first (Display.jsp) it contains some data with a show all link. When the user clicks on that link, all related data of that link will be displayed in the second jsp page (showall.jsp).

Creation of a context file

Create any folder in any drive as (E:\Jsp). Inside that folder store your .jsp files. Give the Context path name as jsp and docBase as E:\Jsp, here docBase means the total path where we are storing our .jsp files. These changes are done in the server.xml file, which is present in (E:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\conf) directory.

Server.xml file

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

 <!-- An Engine represents the entry point (within Catalina) that processes

 analyzes the HTTP headers included with the request, and passes them
 on to the appropriate Host (virtual host).

Table creation

First create an employee table in Oracle and insert some data as below

Create table employee(empid varchar(50),empname varchar(50),empaddress varchar(50),designation varchar(50),salary int)

insert into employee values('E001','Raj','Delhi','Clerk',10000)
insert into employee values('E002','Harry','Mumbai','Player',20000)
insert into employee values('E003','Sunil','Noida','Producer',30000)
insert into employee values('E004','Pollock','Durban','Manager',40000)
insert into employee values('E005','Jonty','Perth','Director',50000)
insert into employee values('E006','Kallis','Oslo','Dean',60000)
insert into employee values('E007','Imran','Dubai','Admin',70000)

Creation of dsn (database source name)

Start-Control panel- Administrative Tools- Data Sources (ODBC)-go to system dsn tab-click add button-select a driver for which you want to set up data source (for Oracle- Oracle in XE)-select it and click finish-give any name in data source name textbox-then click ok button.
Note:- Here Username=system, Password=pintu and Dsn name=dsn1

Display.jsp

<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<html>
<body bgcolor="Yellow">
<table border="1" width="30%" height="30%">
<tr>
<th>EMP ID</th>
<th>EMP NAME</th>
<th>SALARY</th>
<th>SHOW ALL</th>
</tr>
<%
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:dsn1","system","pintu");
Statement stmt=con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery("select * from employee");
while(rs.next())
{
 String EmployeeId=rs.getString("empid");
 String EmployeeName=rs.getString("empname");
 String EmployeeAddress=rs.getString("empaddress");
 String Employeedesignation=rs.getString("designation");
 int Salary=rs.getInt("salary");

%>
<tr>
<td><%=EmployeeId%></td>
<td><%=EmployeeName%></td>
<td><%=Salary%></td>
<td><a href='showall.jsp?id=<%=EmployeeName%>'>Show All</a></td>

</tr>
<%
}
%>

</table>
</body>
</html>

showall.jsp

<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<html>
<body bgcolor="Yellow">

<table border="1" width="30%" height="30%">
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>NAME</th>
<th>ADDRESS</th>
<th>DESIGNATION</th>
<th>SALARY</th>

</tr>
<%
String empname= request.getParameter("id");
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:dsn1","system","pintu");
Statement stmt=con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery("select * from employee where empname='"+empname+"'");
while(rs.next())
{
 String EmployeeId=rs.getString("empid");
 String EmployeeName=rs.getString("empname");
 String EmployeeAddress=rs.getString("empaddress");
 String Employeedesignation=rs.getString("designation");
 int Salary=rs.getInt("salary");
%>
<tr>
<td><%=EmployeeId%></td>
<td><%=EmployeeName%></td>
<td><%=EmployeeAddress%></td>
<td><%=Employeedesignation%></td>
<td><%=Salary%></td>
</tr>
<%
}
%>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Running the application

Run the tomcat then write the below link in the URL

http://localhost:8081/jsp/

Here jsp is the Context path, which we mentioned in the server.xml file, which is present in (E:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\conf) directory.

After giving the url a set a listing will come, here only two appears as Display.jsp and showall.jsp click on Display.jsp.

Output

jdbc
