Hello see that the value is with in single quotes.
For example try in the following manner
String city=req.getParameter("mcity");
ResultSet rs = Statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE
cityname='"+city+"'");
It will work i experienced the same problem before and i fixed it as above
and it works fine
