Hi,
I have a servlet that is using a database to query results from a survey. The survey has 3 questions and each one of them has 4 possible answers. The query runs fine and displays in the web browser, but once I do a refresh some of the data increments its value at a constant rate.
Here is the code:

import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class Survey extends HttpServlet {
private Connection con = null;
private Statement stmt = null;
private String url = "jdbc
dbc:survey";
private String table = "results";
private int numQues = 3;
private int [] numAns = {4,4,4};
private int num = 0;
public void init() throws ServletException {
try {
// loading the jdbc-odbc bridge
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"
// making a connection
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"anonymous","guest"
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
con = null;
}
}
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException {
String [] results = new String[numQues];
for (int i=0;i<numQues;i++) {
results = req.getParameter("q"+i);
}
// test if the user has answered all the question
String resultsDb = "";
for (int i=0;i<numQues;i++) {
if (i+1!=numQues) {
resultsDb += "'" + results + "',";
}
else {
resultsDb += "'" + results + "'";
}
}
boolean success = insertIntoDb(resultsDb);
// print a thank you message
res.setContentType("text/html"
PrintWriter output = res.getWriter();
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
buffer.append("<HTML>"
buffer.append("<HEAD>"
buffer.append("</HEAD>"
buffer.append("<BODY BGCOLOR=\"#FFFFFF\">"
buffer.append("<P>"
if (success) {
buffer.append("Thank you for participating!"
}
else {
buffer.append("An error has occurred. Please press the back button of your browser"
buffer.append(" and try again."
}
buffer.append("</P>"
buffer.append("</BODY>"

output.println(buffer.toString());
output.close();
