i am unable to post data to mysql database from rest web-service

Question

And here is my rest code

@Path("Users")
public class ItemsResource extends stu{

  @Context
  private UriInfo context;

  /**
   * Creates a new instance of ItemsResource
   */
  public ItemsResource() {
  }

  /**
   * Retrieves representation of an instance of service.ItemsResource
   * @return an instance of java.lang.String
   */
  @GET
  @Produces("text/plain")
  public String getText() {
      //TODO return proper representation object
      throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
  }

  /**
   * POST method for creating an instance of ItemResource
   * @param content representation for the new resource
   * @return an HTTP response with content of the created resource
   */
   @POST
   @Consumes("text/plain")
   @Produces("text/plain")
   public Response postText(@PathParam("id") int id,@PathParam("Password") String Password,
                        @PathParam("Username") String Username) {
    //TODO

       super.createText(id,Password,Username);
       return Response.created(context.getAbsolutePath()).build();
      // return "success";
   }
  /**
   * Sub-resource locator method for {id}
   */   
}

here is stu.java

class stu {

     public String createText(int id,String Username,String Password) {
        //TODO
       try 
       {
          Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
          Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/users","root","789456");

          String query=  "Insert into users (id,username,password) values('"+id+"','"+Username+"','"+Password+"')";
          PreparedStatement stm = con.prepareStatement(query);         

          stm.executeUpdate(query);
        } catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
           System.err.println ("Sql Exception"+e);
        } catch(SQLException e){
           System.err.println ("Sql Exception"+e);
        }

    return "success";
  } 
}

I think the data is not "successfully posted". You use the @PathParam annotation when you have the parameters in your @Path, like @Path("Users/{id}").

How are you sending the parameters? If you send them with a browser and a POST <form>, try to use the @FormParam annotation. See this question for more information.

@post posting s a different thing i am even unable to insert while testing rest web,i am able to contact my sql but null null values are updated in row – SHREY CHATURVEDI Aug 28 '12 at 16:29
Have you stepped through the code and verified that those values are not null before they are sent to the database? – Corwin01 Aug 28 '12 at 17:17
Exactly... you see NULL in the database because you pass NULL to the database. You say "Sent: 1,hey,hdhb": how did you send these values? – Flavio Aug 29 '12 at 07:19

With a prepared statement you shouldn't be putting the values in right away. Try the following

String query=  "insert into users (id,username,password) values(?,?,?)";
PreparedStatement stm = con.prepareStatement(query); 
stm.setInt(1, id);
stm.setString(2, Username);
stm.setString(3, Password);
stm.executeUpdate();

There is an example of this on the API page

Also on a side note, watch your arguments. Your method definition has createText(int id,String Username,String Password) but you pass the values in with password and username mixed up.
