Calling jsp:forward on clicking a link

Hi, I need to forward to another JSP (needs to be the same request object) when the user clicks on a link. Is there any way can do this? If I have a JavaScript function with the jsp:forward and call the function on clicking the link (href), the jsp:forward gets executed the very first time the page is displayed.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
SP

Thank you.. I was hoping there would be some way to forward on click of a link :-( I do not want to use the session option since I am using a bean in request scope. Let me explain my problem in more detail:
The scenario is like this - There is a JSP page, page A that has a form. Here the user enters some data that he wants to upload to a site. On clicking submit, page A does some validations and forwards to page B. Page B has a link, on clicking this, the user can preview the uploaded data. If he does not like what he sees, page B has a Return link. This should take him back to page A with all the data he entered intact. I am using a Bean that has all the form values, and it is in request scope, so I need to be able to forward to Page A on clicking the return link/button. Scope session is not ok, since I do not want the form data to be valid for the entire browser session only for the request.
Any thoughts, anyone?

Use Action to call JSP method instead for forwarding to another url

I have a servlet button to save data I have entered on a form. The only way I understand to save the data when the button is pressed is to use ACTION and call up a .jsp to do the work like this:
<FORM ACTION="http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp/learningJSP/UpdateStudentInfo.jsp" METHOD="POST">
and here's the .jsp that sets my current properties from the form and saves them.
<HTML>
<BODY>
<jsp:useBean id="studentDataBean"
class="learningservlets.StudentDataBean"
scope ="application"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="studentDataBean" property ="*" />

<%studentDataBean.saveData();%>
<jsp:forward page="PresentStudentData.jsp" />
<H1>
UpdateStudentInfo Bean
</H1>
</BODY>
</HTML>
The problem I have with using this approach is my user is sent to another page. Is there anyway to complete the above task transparently (i.e. without making the user go to the page that does all of the work)?
Thanks for any assistance you may offer.

Use this,
UpdateStudentInfo.jsp
<%@ page import="learningservlets.StudentDataBean" %>
<jsp:useBean id="studentDataBean"
class="learningservlets.StudentDataBean"
scope ="application">
<jsp:setProperty name="studentDataBean" property ="*" />
</jsp:useBean>

<%
studentDataBean.saveData();
response.sendRedirect("PresentStudentData.jsp");
return;
%>
Hope this helps.

Calling a page process by clicking a link

I have an Apex report with multiple rows and a link column in. I'd like to be able to call a page process to do some work on the row with the clicked link... I also need to pass a couple of parameters somehow to the page process as it calls a procedure which requires the parameters to function correctly.
So -
When I click a link on a row.. perhaps a couple of hidden page items get set.
The page is then submitted and my process calls the procedure, using the values of the set items above as its parameters.
Control is submitted back to the original page.
So basically I'm trying to give a user the ability to carry out repetitive actions on each row.
My thought was to use a URL in the link and maybe Javascript.. or am I barking up the wrong tree and is there a better way rather than a link?
Thoughts?
Cheers
Ken

You have the right idea. JavaScript is the way to go. Assuming that the values that are being passed are part of that row of data, you can construct the call to a JavaScript process.
Create two hidden items on your page, make sure they are not protected.
say P1_CITY and P1_STATE
Say your query included city and state, define a column in the report as a link of target URL with the following url
javascript:myFunction('#CITY#', '#STATE#');
Then define a javascript function in the page HTML Header section
function myFunction(pCity, pState) {
$x_value('P1_CITY', pCity);
$x_value('P1_STATE', pState);
doSubmit('RUNPROC');
Then have a process on the page does what ever you want and that is conditional on the REQUEST = 'RUNPROC'

Method Call when click a link

Hi All
I have jspx page which have several links to go to different pages. How do i call a java method when I click a link
Thank You
Padma Kumara

You are using JSF navigation/ ADF navigation or any other ? Means what type of application you are developing ??
For JSF and ADF both you can use managed beans :
JSF
If Bean Name testBean which refers to com.test.TestBean class.
you want to refer testMethod()
you are using h:commandLink,
then use <h:commandLink action="testBean.testmethod"/>
In ADF also you can use similar way,
<af:commandLink action="testBean.testmethod"/>
Additional You can use action Listener or
ADF taskflow's method call activity.

JSP forward issue

I have a web application deployed on weblogic 8 server. I have a jsp (AddNewUser.jsp) which forwards to a servlet (CreateUserServlet.class) with the following code :
<jsp:forward page="/admin/CreateUser?userID=new"/>In the CreateUserServlet class, I have overriden init(config) as follows:
public void init(ServletConfig config)throws ServletException {
         super.init(config);
        context = config.getServletContext();
}In the doPost method, I have some debug statements as follows:
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
System.err.println("--------CreateUserServlet start------- ");
//initialization code here
context.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/jsps/admin/createUser.jsp").forward(request, response);
}The flow of actions is :
1. User clicks on a link to AddNew.jsp which forwards to the CreateUserServlet
2. The servlet performs some initialization (not shown) and forwards to createUser.jsp page
3. The createUser.jsp page contains a form which the user fills and clicks "save".
4. The form calls another servlet which saves the new user to the database.
The problem now which I have is that the web application works perfectly on 4-5 test machines except for the client ( what luck huh?). For him this is what happens
1. He clicks on a link to AddNew.jsp, he gets forwarded to the createUser.jsp page (as expected..no problem here!)
2. He enters some data and clicks "save" and the new user gets saved to the database.(as expected..no problem here!)
3. Now, when he tries repeating by clicking on the link to AddNew.jsp page, the debug statement "--------CreateUserServlet start------- " does not get printed to the console!!(HERE IS THE PROBLEM!) but he still gets forwarded to the createUser.jsp page! This is creating a problem because my initialization code is being skipped.
So, the client is able to enter a new user the first time he visits the section but is not able to add thereafter.
Any clues please?

I wonder if what is happening is when he clicks the link to AddNew.jsp teh browser is pulling the page out of cache. That would explain why he gets the CreateUser form without hitting the CreateUserServlet.
It is easy enough to check by enabling the access logs for your server. Then when he clicks on the link check the log to see if the request was recieved on the server and teh responce code is 304
If it is a caching problem there are pleanty of examples of the HTML meta data tags to prevent cahcing on the forum if you search for them.

How to call jsp?

Hi all,
I have two jsp file in my project test1.jsp and test2.jsp.
I listed some link in test1.jsp using htmlB link control. If I click that link it will go to the java file there some action will taken then that will set second jsp file as result.
Like this,
if(state==0)
this.setJspName("test1.jsp");
else
this.setJspName("test2.jsp");
I need to open the test2.jsp in new window.
I tried the
target=_blank
in link control also it not opening a new window.
Is this possible? Help me.
Helpful answers will appreciate.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kathiresan R

Hi,
I get your question. Can think of one solution. You can create JSP2 with new portal component. Create a dumy JSP. Now When else statement is called, call dummy JSP with javascript to open JSP2 in new window like this.
window.open(Project.portalcomponentname,title);
Let me know if it works.

How to call JSP function from onClick Action

Hi
I am trying to call a jsp function, onclick of a checkbox. This jsp function will in turn connect to the database and gets related information. I dont want to submit the data inorder to avoid posting and getting of huge data. Is there a simple way to call a jsp function from the users onClick action.
Appreciate anyones help!!!
Thanks alot
Joe

So, i have to submit the form to call the jsp function. Basically yes.
Sorry for the shortness of the answer, but I am pretty sure we have had this conversation (or one very much like it) before.
Java/JSP runs on the server, generates an html page, and stops running.
Javascript runs on the client in the web browser, once the page is loaded.
You cannot call java code from javascript.
The only way you can run java code again is to make a request - either by submitting a form, or clicking a link.
If you don't want to refresh the current page, you CAN get tricky with javascript and multiple frames. You submit to another frame, and when it loads, it uses javascript onload event to call back and modify the main frame. Its tricky to get going, and very easy to break, so I don't normally recommend it.
Good luck,
evnafets

8330 Call Forwarding...How do I set the number of rings before calls are forwarded?

8330 Call Forwarding...How do I set the number of rings before calls are forwarded? Right now it instantly forwards my calls but I don't want that. I want to change it so that let's say that if after 5 rings I don't answer the call is forwarded. I've looked everywhere for an answer but have had no luck. Any help would be appreciated. I am with Virgin Mobile if this makes a difference.
Thank you

Well, call forwarding is a feature provided by your carrier -- it is not a function of the device. However it works for your carrier is how it works. Actually, from what I understand about call forwarding, it normally is an all-or-nothing circumstance...calls forward to the number you've asked them to be forwarded to, keeping you in a DND status. Regardless, though, if your carrier tells you how it works on their system, there's nothing that the device can do to override that. Unless there is some kind of 3rd party app that would do it, bypassing (somehow) the carrier network CF feature...but I've never heard of such a thing.

New Session on click of link

I m having a scenario in which a Admin logins , and searches for other users of the website, the admin can modify the profile of the user, when he clicks the link a new window should open with user login , i have tired out URL rewriting using response.encodeURL but that's not working i beleive. Is there any way i can acheive ?
The current scenario is like this
1. Admin logins - forwarded to next JSP with jsession id inthe URL
2. Searches for the Users srch reults displayed in 6 pages , same jsession Id available
3. When he clicks on the results pages then jsession id is not coming in the URL
4. i didnt use the encoded url for link to open a new window in which the user details should be shown
in the 3rd step if i can get the jsession id also for the srch page links then i beleive when i click the link of new window it will open in a new session .
help needed..........

Scott,
Ya think we're here 7 days a week? Well we are.I can't stop bragging about you guys at work. I get so much accomplished because of the forums and your feedback (both present and past)..and you work the same hours I do!!!
Regarding the problem, I can definitely say that the Export was not modified by hand (though I have some experience making corrections/changes this way).
I will try and go back through my notes and piece together the chain of events leading to this failure. Until then, there were three "strange" things going on which may have contributed:
1) The data is located in another schema over a database link, so in my local copy I am accessing a view.
2) When I originally created the application, the primary key was named "APP_ID" which caused no end of problems for APEX, but it took several iterations of debugging for it to dawn on me that the APP_ID was coming from the system value, not my table.
3) To correct for this, I altered the view to translate APP_ID to ID. I believe I was in one of the form edit screens when I was doing this and so it may have attempted to reconcile and gotten confused when I left the screen.
I'll try and be more precise from my notes, and may attempt to reproduce it as soon as I have extra time.
Thanks again, as always,
Barney

Progress Bar after clicking a link

Hi,
I would lilke to add a progress bar after clicking a link from the end user interface. I know we have to use onClick property to do this, I found a Java script code which generates a progress bar and included that java script code in the onClick property value but for some reason the java script is not executing.
Can anybody please tell what I am missing?
If anybody did this before, please give any thoughts and if possible with any sample code is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I found some info in the forum and did the following.
Created a js function and copied it to includes folder and added that js function (e.g. myprogress) in the commonScripts.jsp file. In the form filed option for onClick called the java script function like this..
<Property name='onClick' value='javascript:myprogress()'/>
also tried with..
<Property name='onClick' value='myprogress()'/>
For some reason the java script function is not executing at all.
I don't understand what I am missing, can anybody give some thoughts.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Jsp:forward explained ?

Here the dir structure of my authentification module :
/admins/login.jsp
/admins/centralAdmin.jsp (lists all Admins)
/admins/players/ADMPlayers.jsp
/admins/news/ADMNews.jsp
/templates/mystyle.css
In my site authentification, I need to redirect people to login.jsp if they access the admin urls directly without passing by the login page.
I have tried something like bellow in these pages
centralAdmin.jsp:
<% if (session.session.getAttribute("LOGGED") == null){%>
<jsp:forward page="/admins/login.jsp"/>
<%}
%>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../templates/mystyle.css">
OK
For page like /admins/players/ADMPlayers.jsp, it redirects me to login.jsp but the css in the login file (like the above) can't be reached. It will if I use
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../templates/mystyle.css">
instead ????
The main goal is to put the test login file in a include file.
I have tried to set the path to /templates/mystyle.css in the link but it doesn't work.
Anyone can help ?

The problem is that your web browser thinks you are at (for instance) "/admins/players/ADMPlayers.jsp", but your CSS is located in "/templates/mystyle.css". So, "../templates/mystyle.css" being called from "/admins/players/ADMPlayers.jsp" will look for "/admins/templates/mystyle.css" which does not exist. That is the reason why using "../../templates/mystyle.css" does work. What is it that you are trying to do exactly? just be able to reference the CSS? Have you tried putting in the WHOLE URL instead of just the relative URL?

When right click on link in search page it takes me to where it wants not page

If I search from au.yahoo.com or google (search pages I always use), it brings up a list of suggested sites. If I right click on one of the suggested links and choose to open in new tab or just click on the link, it won't take me to the page listed. It seems to take me to what other site it suddenly feels like taking me to. There is no set site it takes me to, just a huge variety of them. I have done a registry clean, I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, I have done a pc clean and have run malaware program.

If you right-click the link and use Copy Link Location, then paste into the address bar, and press Alt+Enter, does Firefox load the correct site in the new tab? If so, it does unfortunately sound like the nasty malware sometimes called the Google Redirect Virus. This recent thread has a lot of suggestions: [https://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/873812 90% of the time I get redirected to a destructive site (according to WOT) when I click on a search result. | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].

Filter problem with jsp:forward

Greetings,
I was trying to implement compression filter in oc4j. Basically wrap a HttpResponseServletResponseWrapper using a GZipOutputStream for supported browsers. However whenever for eg: I have a.jsp which does jsp:forward page =b.jsp I can see in TCP monitor IllegalStateException response already committed. But I dont see any stack trace in server logs. The buffer size is 2048 and I am pretty sure it did not get filled up before the forward. I would appreciate if anybody has seen such behavior using wrapped response in OC4j(the same code works fine in tomcat and websphere). Also one thing I observed is that for every jsp:include the filter is being called (to handle this I create the wrapper if its not already there and maintain entry count into filter and decrement when I exit filter and finish gzip response when entry count become 0,which works fine). I believe that this is not a part of 2.3 spec.Even in 2.4 spec if the filter config in web.xml is not set to any value by default the filter is supposed to be in request scope. I really appreciate any pointers in resolving this

I am pasting the stack trace for broken pipe exception. Please let me know if anybody knows the resolution. Please let me know if there is any other way to enable compression of jsp in oc4j in 9 version. The same code works in Jboss/tomacat websphere ! Also from the stack trace we can see that filter is being called for each forward and its not as per 2.3 servlet specification. Even in 2.4 by default the filter is supposed to work at request level.
Also I have another question oc4j seems to be using hard coded value: if length is more than 100k or so it uses Transfer-Encoding chunked. Is there any clean way of disabling this behaviour for .js files? the reason is for some reason Internet explore does not cache the javascript files properly (sporadically ) when chunked response is used for javascript files.

The website Kotaku brings me to a blank white page when i try do a search or click a link to an older post, it says done in the loading bar. Also had an error where I couldn't log in properly while trying to post this question on these forums.

Yesterday I clicked the "link Facebook account" on the website www.kotaku.com.au. Prior to that I can't remember having this issue. Not sure if its related.
My first idea was to use safe mode, which worked. so i disabled my addons in non-safe mode but it still didn't work.
The only thing that solved the problem was clearing my cookies, so for now I have the cookies of kotaku blocked. Obviously not an ideal situation.
I found these error message in console:
Error: Permission denied for <http://network.alluremedia.com.au> to call method Location.toString on <http://www.kotaku.com.au>.
Error: pageTracker is not defined
Source File: javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/interaction/rollover');
Line: 1
I was originally going to post this as a website error, however when trying to ask this question using Firefox I was presented with my log in name and a log out button, rather than the Ask a New Question page. Once again, it worked fine when I disabled cookies.
So now I'm thinking it may not be a single site problem.
Can't find many useful topics on the internet, needing some help.

Thanks for the flag J.K. - they contaced me and solved my problem. On this account (which I created just to ask this question), I log in with my email rather than my user name (mtalldud). On the account that I was having trouble with, they told me to use my user ID instead of my email to log in and it worked. This is a bit confusing and seems a bit inconsistent but at least I don't need this temporary account any more to get into this community and find answers!
