Please note that in the above code snippet, the <form action="SaveEntryServlet" method="POST"> attribute action is set to SaveEntryServlet, which represents the servlet or endpoint responsible for handling the form submission and saving the diary entry into the database. You would need to create the SaveEntryServlet and implement the necessary logic to process the form data and store it in the database.
