How to save an entity into mysql?

Question

public class getButton extends CustomNode{
    var x:Number;
    var y:Number;
    var h:Number;
    var w:Number;
    override function create():Node{
        SwingButton{
            translateX:x;
            translateY:y;
            onMouseClicked:function(e:MouseEvent){
                var request:HttpRequest = HttpRequest {
                    location: "http://localhost:8080/catalog/resources/fucks/1/";
                    onInput: function(is: java.io.InputStream) {                 
                    try {
                        println("onInput - bytes of content available: {is.available()}");
                    } finally {
                        is.close();
}I just wanna let the text typed in the textfield be saved into the mysql as an entity.
what should I do in the "try" part?
Should I use parse?
Can anyone give me a very simple sample?

Answer 1

Do you have a Web service already available to do that? What you will put in 'try' will depend on the Web API the service offers. In your case, it might be as simple as accessing an URL like: http://my.web-service.com:8088/api/store.jsp?data=String+you+typed
The URL above is strictly invented, it might (probably) lead to a real site but it won't work! ;-) Replace with a real URL you own, can be localhost, might drop the port (depends on your configuration), the path and page name are up to your taste, not restricted to JSP (can even be PHP, or Python, Perl, whatever).
