i declared salary as double in set&get value but when i execute the control statement it tells"The method setSalary(Double) in the type User is not applicable for the arguments (String) — sairam, Jul 14 '15 at 05:30
If you plan to do any math on `salary` stop using `double` or Richard Pryor will embezzle all your fractional pennies. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3730019/why-not-use-double-or-float-to-represent-currency — candied_orange, Jul 14 '15 at 05:36

The getParameter() method of HttpServletRequest is inherited from ServletRequest. From the API docs you can see this method always returns a string. You need to parse your boolean or double from this string, for example

Double.parseDouble(request.getParameter("empsalary"));
