First Form using a Servlet

• In the directory jakarta-tomcat-X.X/webapps/dbc/ I place an HTML file hello.html containing the form element:

  <form method=get
  
  action=“http://sirah.csit.fsu.edu:8081/dbc/servlet/HelloUser”>
  Name: <input type=text name=who size=32> <p>
  <input type=submit>
  </form>

This assumes my host/port pair is sirah/8081.

• To view this form, I point my browser at the URL:

  http://sirah.csit.fsu.edu:8081/dbc/hello.html
  

• If I enter my name and submit the form, I get back a page containing the message:

  Hello Bryan!
