I am trying to call a servlet from jQuery's .ajax() function.
At the moment I don't think I am even calling the servlet or passing paramaters to it, however lots of Googling doesn't seem to have helped. Any ideas?
This is my html:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function login(){
$("#loading").hide();
var email = document.nameForm.email.value;
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "ProcessForm",
data: "email="+email,
success: function(result){
alert(result);
}
});
}
My AJAX
This time it's gonna work
Email loading</body>
</html>
And my web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">
<display-name>ajaxtry</display-name>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>default.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>default.htm</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>default.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ProcessForm</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.ajaxtry.web.ProcesFormServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ProcessForm</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/ProcessForm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
The servlet is just a template at the moment:
package com.ajaxtry.web;
// imports here
public class ProcessFormServlet {
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException {
response.setContentType("text/html"); PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
System.out.println(request.getParameter("email")); } }
