How to send data to servlet using ajax without submit form

I am new to the servlet, I can get data from the servlet, but I can not send data to it, and I want to do this without using the send form, can I get some help, please

at the click of a button, it will go to the servlet and return the text, but will not send it a value

This is my index.jsp

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>SO question 4112686</title>
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function() {                       
            $('#somebutton').click(function() {               
                $.get('GetUserServlet', function(responseText) { 
                    $('#somediv').text(responseText);        
                });
            });
        });
        $("#somebutton").click(function(){
        $.ajax
        (
        {
            url:'GetUserServlet',
            data:{name:'abc'},
            type:'get',
            cache:false,
            success:function(data){alert(data);},
            error:function(){alert('error');}
        }
    );
}
);
    </script>
</head>
<body>

    <button id="somebutton" onclick="showHint('GetUserServlet.java',   'travis');">press here</button>
    <div id="somediv"></div>
</body>

this is my servlet

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
String text = "Update Sucessful";
String name = request.getParameter("name");


response.setContentType("text/plain");  // Set content type of the response so that jQuery knows what it can expect.
response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8"); // You want world domination, huh?
response.getWriter().write( name + text);       // Write response body.

you can use $ .ajax () or $ .post here. since you used $ .ajax (). please refer to the fix:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>SO question 4112686</title>
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function() {                       
            $('#somebutton').click(function() {               
                $.get('GetUserServlet', function(responseText) { 
                    $('#somediv').text(responseText);        
                });
            });
        });


        $("#somebutton").click(function(){
         $.ajax({
            url:'GetUserServlet',
            data:{name:'abc'},
            type:'get',
            cache:false,
            success:function(data){
               alert(data);
               $('#somediv').text(responseText); 
            },
            error:function(){
              alert('error');
            }
         }
    );
}
);
    </script>
</head>
<body>

    <button id="somebutton">press here</button>
    <div id="somediv"> </div>
</body>

, and your servlet should be:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class GetUserServlet extends HttpServlet {
  public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
  throws ServletException, IOException {
    doPost(request, response);
  }

  public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
  throws ServletException, IOException {
    String text = "Update successfull"; //message you will recieve 
    String name = request.getParameter("name");
    PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
    out.println(name + " " + text);
  }

For this purpose you can use the $ .post method.
Here is my solution to
index.jsp

<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en">
<head>
   <title>SO question 4112686</title>
   <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
   <script>
     $(document).ready(function() {
         $("#somebutton").click(function() {
             servletCall();
         });

     });
     function servletCall() {
         $.post(
             "GetUserServlet", 
             {name : "Message from jsp"}, //meaasge you want to send
             function(result) {
             $('#somediv').html('Here is your result : <strong>' + result + '</strong>'); //message you want to show
         });
     };
   </script>
</head>
<body>
     <button id="somebutton">press here</button>
     <div id="somediv"></div>
</body>
</html>

GetUserServlet.java

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class GetUserServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
        throws ServletException, IOException {
    doPost(request, response);
}

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
        throws ServletException, IOException {
    String text = "<br>Message from servlet<br>"; //message you will recieve 
    String name = request.getParameter("name");
    PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
    out.println(text + name);
}
}
