Question

HI:
I need help with the following please.
The issue to resolve is this:
I need to display on the screen a log that I receive from a Servlet asynchronously
I do not need to update the server side data, only to see the results on the screen.
Following is the code I am using in Netbeans 6.0 staticText component.
I do get the correct response from the server but I cannot update it on the textArea, it just goes blank.
Is this possible the way I am doing it or do I nee to go to Richfaces?
Secondly I would like to have a google map on the same screen and
update it with coordinates received from the same servlet.
What aproach should I take?
Thank you
function getXml()
                                    var  xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
                                    if (!xmlHttp) {
                                        xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
                                    var url = "http://localhost:8084/WebApplication1/NewServlet";
                                    xmlHttp.open("POST", url, true);
                                     xmlHttp.send("I SENT THIS");
                                    xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = updatePage;
                                    function updatePage()
                                        if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4) {
                                               var response = xmlHttp.responseText;
                                              var domNode = document.getElementById("form1:sText1");
                                               domNode.value = response;
                                               alert (domNode.value);
                                              return domNode.refresh();
                                 }

Follow the next steps, works in netbeans 6.5 and MySQL 5.1.3
1.     install SinglePageCrudForm sample and show this
2.     virtual form in field calendar (participate), save button (submit)
3.     Properties – selectedDate - NO
4.     save button
java.util.Date uDate = (java.util.Date) depDateCalendar.getValue();
if ( uDate != null ) {
java.sql.Date date = new java.sql.Date( uDate.getTime() );
tripDataProvider.setValue("TRIP.DEPDATE", date);
} else {
tripDataProvider.setValue("TRIP.DEPDATE", null);
5.     prerender
boolean tripsFlag = getSessionBean1().getTripRowSet().size() > 0;
if ( tripsFlag ) {
java.sql.Date date = (java.sql.Date) tripDataProvider.getValue("TRIP.DEPDATE");
depDateCalendar.setValue(date);
} else {
depDateCalendar.setValue(null);
}
