I have a form on a jsp which calls a javascript function which latter calls a servlet. However the code mention below works once in while and when the code does reach the servlet the parameters return null. Also its really bizarre but it jumps between The doGet and doPost method even though i specify "POST". Can someone assist me with the correction.
JAVASCRIPT:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$().ready(function() {
$('.my_button').click(function() {
var dataf = 'email=' + $('#email').val()
+ '&password=' + $('#password').val();
$.ajax({
url: "http://localhost:8080/RetailerGui/loginServlet",
type: "POST",
data: dataf,
dataType: "JSON",
success: function(data) {
alert(data);
}
});
});
});
</script>
JSP FORM:
<form id="newsletter" method="POST">
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="bg">
Email:<input type="text" id="email">
</div>
<div class="bg">
Password:<input type="password" id="password">
</div>
<button class="my_button" name="login" >login</button>
</div>
</form>
SERVLET "loginServlet":
@Override
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
processRequest(request, response);
String email = request.getParameter("email");
String password = request.getParameter("password");
String loginResult = login(email,password);
System.out.println("EMAIL:" +email);
System.out.println("PASSWORD:" +password);
System.out.println("IM INSIDE GET!!!!");
response.getWriter().write(loginResult);
}
/**
* Handles the HTTP <code>POST</code> method.
*
* @param request servlet request
* @param response servlet response
* @throws ServletException if a servlet-specific error occurs
* @throws IOException if an I/O error occurs
*/
@Override
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
processRequest(request, response);
String email = request.getParameter("email");
String password = request.getParameter("password");
String loginResult = login(email,password);
System.out.println("IM INSIDE POST!!!!");
response.getWriter().write(loginResult);
}
If any other information is required please let me know. Thank you for the help in advance.
