<p>i am new to java and ajax and servlets. i wrote a program that reads input from the user and prints out the dictionary meaning to the web page with the help of some tutorials.</p> <p>When i read the input from the webpage in doPost method of the servlet, it fails to read it and returns null. maybe it is trying to read the input before the submit button. How am i going to solve this? Here is the related code of my jsp file:</p> <pre><code>function ajaxFunction() { if(xmlhttp) { var inword = document.getElementById("inputWord"); xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = handleServerResponse; xmlhttp.open("GET","gettime?inputWord="+ inword.value , true ); //gettime will be the servlet name xmlhttp.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'); xmlhttp.send(null); } } </code></pre> <p>...</p> <pre><code><form name="myForm"> Enter the word: <input type="text" name="inputWord" /> <br /> Meaning:<input type="text" name="time" /> <br /> <input type="button" onClick="javascript:ajaxFunction();" value="Click to get the Meaning on Textbox"/> <br /> </form> </code></pre> <p>And here is the part of the code that i'm trying to get the input in my servlet:</p> <pre><code>protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { String inWord = request.getParameter("inputWord"); // word to search in the dictionary PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); ... </code></pre> <p>everytime i try to run the project <code>request.getParameter("inputWord");</code> returns null.</p> <p>i tried some combinations of the code here <code>xmlhttp.open("GET","gettime?inputWord="+ inword.value , true );</code> like <code>xmlhttp.open("GET","gettime", true );</code> but didn't work.</p> <p>and also i call <code>doPost(request,response);</code> in my doGet method.</p> <p>any help is appreciated.</p>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
