INSERT INTO app1.posts(Name,Address,ContactPerson,ContactNumber,EmailID) VALUES(?,?,?,?,?)

<c: otherwise>
<script>
alert("Please provide all details.!");
</script>
</c: otherwise>
</c:choose>
</c:if>
</body>
</html>
and this is the table i have created in derby database
CREATE TABLE app1.posts(
post_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY (START WITH 1, INCREMENT BY 1),
name varchar(45),
address varchar(75),
contactperson varchar(40),
contactnumber varchar(15),
emailid varchar(35)
);
