Tutorials : Building Web Applications Using Servlets and JSP :

In the first part we built a simple web application with Servlets and JSP. We skipped over some of the finer details, specifically accessing the database using Servlets. In this part we will modify our Login Servlet to validate the userid and password with those from the database.

What will we Cover:

1. JDBC a brief introduction
2. Retrieving Data - a simple JDBC example
   • STEP 1: Make a connection
   • STEP 2: Use this Connection to access the Database
3. The complete ValidateUser method
4. Overview of JDBC 2.0
5. Connection pooling and introduction to application servers

1. RDBMS Concepts
2. Basic SQL commands

Also the assumption is that you understood the sample application we built in part 1.
