For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
net.wellho.Book class - Java Bean to look up on MySQL database
JSP - JavaServer Pages example from a Well House Consultants training course
More on JSP - JavaServer Pages [link]

This example is described in the following article(s):
   • Java Beans, tag libraries and JSPs - what and why. - [link]

Source code: Book.java Module: J907
package net.wellho;
import java.sql.*;

/* Compiling and testing this class

Test it stand alone, even if the ultimate use is within a JSP or servlet
(something about walking before running ...)

java.sql.SQLException: Unable to connect to any hosts due to exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
