While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

There could be several reasons why your MySQL database is not integrating with your Maven and JSP dynamic web project. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can follow:

1. Check database connectivity: Ensure that you have the correct database connection details (such as hostname, port, username, and password) in your project's configuration files. Double-check if these details are accurate and match your MySQL database setup.

2. Verify Maven dependencies: Make sure that you have added the necessary Maven dependencies for MySQL in your project's pom.xml file. You can include the following dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>mysql</groupId>
    <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
    <version>8.0.26</version>
</dependency>

3. Test database connection: Write a simple Java program to test the database connection separately from your web project. This will help isolate any issues specific to your web project setup.

4. Check SQL queries: Review your SQL queries to ensure they are correct and properly formatted. Make sure you are using the correct table names, column names, and syntax.

5. Debugging/logging: Add logging statements or use a debugger to track the flow of execution in your code and check for any errors or exceptions being thrown during database integration.

6. Verify data population code: Double-check the code responsible for populating data into the MySQL database. Ensure that it is being executed correctly and that there are no logical errors preventing data insertion.

7. Test with sample data: Instead of relying on user input initially, try manually inserting some sample data into the database using SQL statements or a tool like phpMyAdmin to see if it populates correctly.

8. Check error logs: Examine any error logs generated by your application server or IDE console for any relevant error messages or stack traces that might indicate the cause of the issue.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue preventing your MySQL database from populating in your Maven and JSP dynamic web project.

Just fyi, I have a main driver called StartProgram.java that I used and it is showing everything from the database, including the stuff I've added on the page that hasn't shown up after submitting it, so it doesn't seem to be an issue of the database not working.
