A Simple JSP Example

Class 2

Intermediate Java 30-IT-397

An Example

This sample script accepts a disco group as an input, and responds with a song by that group..

The user then has the option to enter another group..
Want to try it out? Copy-paste this into NetBeans or Forte. They both have built in servers for you to test this out. Right-click, choose execute, then direct your browser to localhost:8080/Music.jsp.

<%@page contentType="text/html"%>

<html>

<head><title>JSP Page</title></head>

<body>

<%

String band = request.getParameter("group");


if (band == null) {

    out.println("Please enter your favorite disco band.");

} else {

    out.println(band  + ": ");


    if (band.equals("KC")) { %>

        Boogie Man

    <% } else if (band.equals("Sylvester")) { %>

        Do you want to funk

    <% } else if (band.equals("Brick")) { %>

        Dazz

    <% } else if (band.equals("Parliament")) { %>

        Brick House

    <% } else { %>

        What music do <i>you</i> listen to?

    <% }

%>


<form name="group" method="GET" action="http://10.78.1.95:8080/examples/jsp/Music.jsp">

Enter your favorite group:

<input type = "text" name = "group">

<br>

<input type="submit">

</form>

</body>

</html>

<> View the Output (Note: The screen shots are not from this example, but instead from a previous example, the fahrenheit:celcius converter. The concept is similar to the disco JSP we're making here.)
