Lab 4-3: HTML Forms

Instructions

  1. Create an HTML page named lab41.jsp and save it into your projects/public_html directory.
  2. Add an HTML form to the page. Challenge yourself by trying different types of form fields. Use checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdown to practice using them with a servlet.
  3. The form’s method should be GET.
  4. The form’s action should link to a url for a servlet named java112.project4.Lab41Servlet.
  5. Add a few input fields to the form. These should include a text field, and any other input type you would like.
  6. Create a servlet named Lab41Servlet and place it in the java112.project4 package.
  7. The servlet should extract the parameters from the HTML form and save them to the request object.
  8. Output the form entries to the lab41.jsp.

Hint

To display the form fields ONLY when they have been entered by the user you will need to use JSTL and EL.
