With this request

$('#add_author').submit(function(){ $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "/addauthor", data: $("#author_name").val(), success: function(html){ $("#content").html(html); } }); return false; });

I appeal to such a servlet

  public class AddAuthorServlet extends HttpServlet { public void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { response.setContentType("text/html"); String authorName = request.toString(); //String authorName = request.getParameter("genre-name"); SocketConnection.output.println("add_genre " + authorName); //String string = SocketConnection.input.readLine(); RequestDispatcher rs = request.getRequestDispatcher("workshop.html"); rs.forward(request, response); } }

Trying to pass the value of author_name , the servlet does not receive anything. How correctly to transfer by means of ajax inquiry this servlet 'value and at correctly to receive it?

     public void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)

    Where in your request is the call to this method?

    The server is looking for a function "addauthor"

    • I.e? The request refers to url /addauthor , and this mapping is the servlet. Or do I misunderstand you? - will_hunting
    • It is logical to assume that the structure of the call to the servlet is: AddAuthor / service - Alexsandr Ter
    • It does not help, because a servlet is registered in web.xml, it will not see it, it will be addressed as AddAuthor/service <servlet> <servlet-name> AddAuthor </ servlet-name> <servlet-class> AddAuthorServlet </ servlet-class > </ servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name> AddAuthor </ servlet-name> <url-pattern> / addauthor </ url-pattern> </ servlet-mapping> - will_hunting
    • Well, does he call this function at all? Try setting breakpoit at the beginning of the function - Alexsandr Ter
