I'm trying to assign the selected value of a dropdown list to a java variable.

The values which the options contain are fetched from the database, but I don't have any clue how to do this.

Say for example I have this: 

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<select>
  <option>fetched from database<option>
</select>
<%  //The java code
String select=//how can i get selected value here
%>
</body>
</html>

  • You cannot. Learn about JSP/Servlet lifecycle. You have to have a `
    `, and a server-side code (an another JSP, or - preferably - a servlet) to process its submission. See e.g. https://www.codejava.net/java-ee/servlet/handling-html-form-data-with-java-servlet or http://candidjava.com/tutorial/servlet-form-example/
