JSF Insert Data Into Database Table

To insert the data into a table at first we will required to create a table in the database. Here I have created the

table as follows :

CREATE TABLE `user1` (

`userId` bigint(10) NOT NULL,

`name` varchar(15) NOT NULL,

`address` varchar(255) NOT NULL,

`created_date` date NOT NULL,

PRIMARY KEY (`userId`)

)

Then I have created a project in Eclipse IDE where I have created a class named User.java which contains the

data member userID, name, address, created_date, and their setter getter methods then created a method

named add() where write the code for inserting the data. Then I have created an XHTML page named insert.xhtml

using which I have created an User Interface to provide the data to insert into the table. When you will try to insert

the data to the table after executing this example and if the data is added successfully to the table the add

function will return the String 'output' and it will redirect to the output.xhtml page and if the data is not added to the

table successfully then the add() function will return the String 'invalid' and it will redirect to the invalid.xhtml page.

For the page redirection I have created a navigation-rule in faces-config.xml file
