Re: java servlets

Posted by Salil V Gangal on August 22, 2000 at 5:43 PM

Hi Pramod,

Please give more details of what you mean by HTML front-end.

In general, one may invoke a servlet by using HTML front-end via creating a button. As an example if your server has capability of executing servlets, then simply hyperlinking to your servlet program should (hopefully) solve the problem.

Now coming to accessing the MS access database. One has to have some kind of driver which allows for the JDBC to work. If you have the driver for MS Access available then I guess you should be able to access it. Personally I've accessed MySQL database from servlet using the MM Driver. Let me know if you want to know the syntax and I'll post it ...

Hope this helps.
