My jsp getting the columns from table.

     try {
     Connection con =  null;
     Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver") ;
     con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@10.60.4.25:1521:clopaydb","scott","tiger");
     String query = "SELECT * FROM emp";
           DatabaseMetaData dma = con.getMetaData ();
         Statement stmt = con.createStatement ();
          ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery (query);
          ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData ();
          int i;
          int numCols = rsmd.getColumnCount ();
          for (i=1; i<=numCols; i++) {
          if (i > 1) System.out.print(",");
          System.out.print("\nThe Table Column list "+rsmd.getColumnLabel(i));
          rs.close();
          stmt.close();
          con.close();
          catch (Exception ex) {
          ex.printStackTrace ();
     }Please give me a sample code for add these items into combo. (I need JSP sample code )

Answer 1

function metadata(){
try {??
Are you sure on this ? Dont mix javascript function with a java method.
Make a java bean and your method may return an ArrayList.
In your JSP ..
<select name="yourComboBox">
<%
// Make a For Loop for the arraylist
String columnLabel = (String ) arrayList.get(i);
<option value="<%=columnLabel%>"><%=columnLabel%></option>
<%
} // end bracing of for loop
%>
</select>
Post your code based on the directions above then we can help you more on this if reqd.
Probably you should look up into sample JSP ..JDBC sample codes on google.
