Hello Hiren, When the user clicks the submit button the form will get posted to the Servlet where you have the registerUser method. The action attribute of the form should point to the servlet. In the servlet you have either service method or doPost method which in turn will call your registerUser method.

You need to import the servlet's class if it is in a package. What method do you want to invoke? You shouldn't invoke any of the methods defined by the HttpServlet interface. You would treat the servlet just like any other class whose method's you want to invoke. You would need to create an instance of the class unless the method is static. This would all be done in a scriptlet. Now just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should. A better approach would be to put the method in its own class which would then be imported and instantiated by the servlet or JSP as a bean.
