How to get the applet method value in javascript variable

Hi,
I have an applet which reading the text file content, text file has valued either ON or OFF
import java.applet.*;
import java.io.*;
public class A extends Applet
public String line="";
public void init( )
String strPath ="D:/WAS_Status.txt";
try
                         BufferedReader objReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(strPath));
                         line = objReader.readLine();
}catch( IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
                    System.out.println("val :"+line);
          public boolean returnFileValue()
               if("ON".equals(line))
                    return true;
               else
                    return false;
In html file :
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
var line='';
function loadAppContent()
     line=document.TestApplet.returnFileValue();
     alert("val : "+line);
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload="loadAppContent()">
<APPLET CODE="A.class" NAME="TestApplet" >
</APPLET >
</BODY>
</HTML>
I am calling the applet method. But I am not able to get value either as true or false.
line=document.TestApplet.returnFileValue();
Getting error as object doesnt support this property.
I tried, line=document.TestApplet.line;
Gets val as undefined.
The line variable of Applet will return either ON or OFF value.
Pls suggest where it has gone wrong or is there any other way?

Yes it is a reserved word to warn that this applet , lets say send messages to the HTML page that call it.
You will find the instruction how to do that at sun site.
Yes you have to implement an interface inside the applet (code)
and send a message to HTML with the name and parameters of
the Javascript you want to call!
But for all this to work you have to put in your project two new classes.
And after that call some methods that does the job you want.
Look for Java to JavaScript Comunication to get what you want!.
check this per exemple!

Is there any way to access the value of a javascript variable in jsp?

Hi
by the way your question is ambigous, i understand the question to some extent here i there is a sample code which may be help full to you. As this problem is faced by me when i was developing some dynamic pages in my company.

How to pass the javascript variable value to a jsp

Hi
I am trying to set a javascript variable with onClick event of a radio button in jsp
and I am assigning this variable to a hidden property in JSP whic has the corresponding getter an setter method in form.
But I am not able to retrtieve the value assigned in either form/action .can any body help me in this:
The code is
<script language="javascript">
var jais="";
     function setValue(val)
          jais=val;
     document.o.value=jais;
</script>
     <html:hidden property="o" value=""/>
<input type=radio name="1"
                                        value="xyz"
                                                                      onclick="setValue('XYZ')" >

o_val=strs;
In the action I am trying to access
by
1)String j=((form name)form.geto();
2)String j=request.getParameter("o")
but with both of them I am getting the value null
Thanks in Advance

You need to set the value of the hidden field in your function.
Setting an unrelated variable will not help.
function setValue(val)
document.forms[0].o.value = val;
also your get/set methods should be getO() and setO().

Passing struts-tag value to java / javascript variable in JSP

Hello all,
Im trying to pass the value got from the struts-tag to the java variable in the Jsp. However Im not able to get the o/p. Can u guys help me on this pls...
<logic:notEmpty name="TreeBean" property="list">
    <logic:iterate id="Type" name="TreeBean" property="list" indexId="i">
     <br/><bean:write name="Type" />
    </logic:iterate>
</logic:notEmpty>Here the list can be populated in the jsp page. However i want the values into jsp list. Im not able to populate the same..
<% List jspList = null;
%> I want the values into the jspList variable for further processing. Can u guz pls help me on this....

Which do you want it in?
A java variable for use in <% scriptlet code %> or a javascript variable for use on the client end?
scriptlet:
<jsp:useBean id="TreeBean" type="java.util.List" class="java.util.ArrayList" scope="?????" />
Having scriptlet code on the page is considered bad coding style.
What is it you are trying to accomplish by making the value accessible?
What are you trying to do in java / javascript that can't be done with JSP tags?

I want to assign the value of a Javascript variable to JSP Variable

I want to assign the value of a Javascript variable to JSP Variable .. for example :
<%
Bla Bla Bla
%>
<script>
var JavaScriptVariable="hello"
</script>
<%
String JSPVariable=// The Value of JavaScriptVariable ;
%>
How can i do that ??
Thanks

>I want to assign the value of a Javascript variable to JSP Variable
cannot be done.Friend try to understand concepts properly Javascript is always excuted by the browser @clientside where as JSPCode is executed Websever(ServletContainer) @serverside.Through you are combining JSP Code blocks(Tags,Expressions,scriptlets...) & javascript under a single page webserver can only identify what is their under JSP Code blocks.
Hope this could be an appropriate answer for your question.
However,you can as well submit a request by encoding your URL with request parameters and the submit to the page and then collect it using request.getParameter(name).
But under a single context state it is not possible

please replay me soon
thank you.

javascript and java do not mix.
Java code runs, and produces HTML/javascript.
Java code stops running.
The page loads in the browser, and it starts up javascript.
Javascript cannot talk to java and vice versa.
Your JSP can generate javascript code onto the page to be executed on the client, but they never directly communicate.
please replay me soongame over dude ;-)

Assigning a java value(filepath) to a javascript variable

I have a JSP where I have a java variable(obtained from session) which is nothing but a filepath(say C:\superb.xpdl). When I try to use the variable in javascript using var scriptVar = "<%= sessionVar %>";, the sessionVar value i.e. the filepath is getting modified (like C:superb.xpdl). Slashes are interpredted in a different way(\t for tab, \n for new line etc.,) How to get the filepath with no modifications while assigning to javascript variable? will encoding(using escape()) and decoding help?

unfortunately you need to double up the slashes
maybe this will work
scriptVar = "<%= sessionVar.replaceAll("\\", "\\\\") %>";
or maybe it will cause a infinite recursion problem (i'm too lazy to try it)

Need a fast answer... passing javascript variable to jsp page (how to use)

This test application has 3 frames.
I'm assigning a value "stuff" to a variable ("testfield1") in a javascript function ("getTest") that exists inside an html frame (testpage1.html)
Then, I click on the "test submit" hypertext link to pass the value of "testfield1" to the JSP frame (testpage2.jsp) by invoking a function ("getData") in "testpage2".
In function ("getData"), I am passing the variable "testfield1" as a parameter to the "getData" function in "testpage2".
In "testpage2" - in the ("getData" function) I try to assign the value of the variable "testfield1" to another variable called "testfld1".
Then, I try to extract the value of "testfld1" into a variable called "tstfld1" in a JSP scriptlet
....I.E. [ String tstfld1 = request.getParameter("testfld1"); ]
But, the value is apparently not passed successfully, as tstfield1 appears to be "null".
Can anyone explain what I'm doing incorrectly?
The code for this test app is below...

parent.frames[2].getData(testfield1); is in testpage1.html
so in the document.pageData.testfld1.value = testfield1; document = testpage1.html( not testpage2.html)
modifying the getData to accept the document object, and refering this object to parent.frames[2].document may help you.
good Luck ....

How can i assign a Javascript variable to JSP variable

Hi guys
how i can assign a javascript variable to jsp expression.,
e.g.,
<input type = "button" value = "Add more" onclick = "return submitform1('<%=s%>')">
function submitform1(String s)
      var s1 = s
document.form1.action = "../intimation.do";    /* Here i want to pass the value s1 to jsp or servlets without using hidden fields and Query string*/
       document.form1.submit();
      return false;
/* i want to pass the values thru session whether it is possible */
pls give sample code
Reply
Marimuthu

You don't have the session.
All you have is HTTP.
The only way to communicate from the client to the server is via an HTTP request. The only way to send a value like that is with a parameter.
Using a form with method="submit" as mentioned will pass the parameters without displaying them in the url bar (is that what you wanted?)

How to set a object value bound to a session to JavaScript variable

In a JSP, I store an object value in a HttpSession and I also write a Javascript function to display something on the screen. I need to use the Javascript function to display the object value which is stored in the session. How to set the object value to variable of the JavaScript function. Thanks.

I write a class JavaScriptHelper to convert the object value to variable of the JavaScript;
1.get the data to a javabean from database;
2.convert the data to variable of the JavaScript as a String ;
3.store the object in a HttpSession or Httprequest ;
4.use in Jsp get the String (variable of the JavaScript )
YourBean bean = (YourBean) request.getAttribute("model");
if (bean != null) out.println(bean .getJsCode())
convert function,(this is only for the matrix):
public static String formatJsCode(Vector vector) {
String sJsCode = "";
//get js head
sJsCode = getJsHeader();
//define js array;
sJsCode += "var data=new Array();\n";
Vector v = null;
String sTemp = "", sLine = "";
for (int i = 0; i < vector.size(); i++) {
v = (Vector) vector.get(i);
sLine = "";
for (int j = 0; j < v.size(); j++) {
sTemp = (String) v.get(j);
//replace " to \"
sTemp = sTemp.replaceAll("\"", "\\\\\\\"");
//escape Html Tag
//sTemp = StringUtil.escapeHTMLTags(sTemp);
//replace \r\n to <br>
sTemp = sTemp.replaceAll("\r\n", "<br>");
if (j != 0)
sLine += ",";
sLine += "\"" + sTemp + "\"";
sJsCode += "data[" + i + "]=new Array(" + sLine + ");\n";
//get js foot
sJsCode += getJsFooter();
return sJsCode;
public static String getJsHeader(){
return "<script language=\"JavaScript\">";
public static String getJsFooter(){
return "</script>";
}
