JSP & JDBC

Question

Hi. I have researched JSP, but would like to learn how to use JDBC. I am currently trying to create a forum, but need a basic tutorial of how to connect the two together. A simple, very basic website will do, and it would be great if I could see primitive sample codes of using JSP to access and manipulate a database.
Best regards,
Ben.

Hello
I would suguest you not connect to database from JSP but instead use Bean for this job. It's more right thing to do , and leave JSP as less code as posible.
Here is exemple code that i made for myself (connecting to MySql)
*  Class for SqlBase query to get the menu from Mysql database
*      EXEMPLE OF CONNECTING TO MYSQL WITH JDBC BY QUERY
*            Connection conn = null;
*            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
*            conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connStr);
*            Statement s = conn.createStatement();
*            String query = "Select menu_id, menu_name, menu_link from blog_menu";
*            ResultSet resultset = s.executeQuery(query);
*      EXEMPLE OF CONNECTING TO MYSQL WITH JDBC BY USING STORED PROCEDURES
*           Connection conn = null;
*           Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
*           conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connStr);
*           CallableStatement cStmt = conn.prepareCall("{call sp_BlogMenu()}");
*           cStmt.execute();
*           ResultSet resultset = cStmt.getResultSet(); 
*                      OR INSTEAD OF TWO LAST LINES IT'S CAN BE DONE
*          ResultSet resultset =  cStmt.executeQuery();
*      CLOSING CONNECTION
*          if( conn != null )
*               conn.close();
*               s.close();
*               cStmt.close();
*               resultset.close();
*/Hope it helps.
