Hi, I've finally figured it out. In order to link the form with the servlet, you have to map the servlet in web.xml. It is similar to writnig the struts-config.xml file.
After putting the servlet info there, you just need to pass the servlet url in the form action, and on submit you will end up with the execution of the servlet.
