Drop-down box in JSP

I have to make java class that will produce drop-down box in HTML page.
Some people will laugh on this, but I'm new in java so please help me with my excersise.

Put this in your class...
   public static String dropDownBox( ) {
      String tmp = "<SELECT SIZE=1>\n";
      tmp += "<OPTION>First</OPTION>\n";
      tmp += "<OPTION>Second</OPTION>\n";
      tmp += "</SELECT>\n";
      return( tmp );
   }And call it by doing something like...
<%= tvrdiClass.dropDownBox() %>
in your JSP code.

Dynamically create drop down box with JSP

Hi,
I hope this is not a repeat post, I have search the forum and a posting has not jumped out at me. I am making a jsp that dynamically constructs a custom SQL query.
I have a number of text boxes with an id, my jsp page calls a servlet, the servlet reads the contorl id and the value to build the query - this works great. However, there's a large text input box which receives a number of extra conditions - this text box receives the input in the following format:
searchAttributeName1,searchAttributeValue1;searchAttributeName2,searchAttributeValue2
This is functional, however, it's a bit rubbish as the user has to know the special recognised attributeNames. What I would like to have is some sort of criteria control. This would consist of a drop down box populated from the servlet, a text input for the value and a button to add another criteria control. so the user could build up the number of query criteria. The drop down box ensures they cannot select the wrong keyword, pressing the add criteria button adds a new drop down box and text box pair to the screen.
An example of this I recently saw was at Intel's jobs search web site https://jobs.intel.com/jobs/jobs.iccw - see that for example.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to achieve this? I initially thought use jsp scripting (there is no restriction against this) but I need to use javascript I'm guessing as the button click triggers adding a new combo box. Another idea was to use styles and tables to hide the other drop down boxes but this seems like a real hack that I'd like to avoid. I can do with with .NET i hope java can deliver!
Any ideas are much appreciated - I am a novice with java web development so please, any examples thoroughly explain (no need to explain populating the drop down box - there seem to be plenty of posts on this).
Thanks for any help or ideas on this issue -

Gina,
Here is some sample code for using a ComboBox in a JSP from an EditCurrentRecord bean. This particular example uses a query, you can also populate combo boxes, list boxes, radio buttons and checkboxes from a static list. See the JavaDocs for the EditCurrentRecord bean.
<jsp:useBean id="RowEditor" class="oracle.jbo.html.databeans.EditCurrentRecord" scope="request">
<%
RowEditor.initialize(application, session , request, response, out, "wt_bc_WT_bcModule.WalkthroughEngineSlidesView");
RowEditor.setTargetUrl("WalkthroughEngineSlidesView_SubmitInsertForm.jsp");
RowEditor.createNewRow();
RowEditor.setReleaseApplicationResources(true);
RowEditor.useComboBox("Presname","select pres_name,pres_name from wt_info","PRES_NAME","PRES_NAME");
RowEditor.render();
%>
</jsp:useBean>

How to get values from a multiple drop-down box.

On my first page, I have a multiple drop-down box as the following code.
<select name="selInterMethod" class="textbox" multiple>
<option selected value="CH">Chicago</option>
<option value="NY">New York</option>
<option value="SF">San Francisco</option>
</select>
On my second transaction page, I need to save "CH-NY" into my Database column: city if the user selected Chicago and New York.
How can I accomplish this in JSP?
Thanks for your help.

I figured out the solution. Here it is. FYI
String inter_method = "";
String Inter_Method[]=request.getParameterValues("selInterMethod");
     if( Inter_Method.length > 0 ) {
          for (int i = 0; i < Inter_Method.length; i++) {
               inter_method = inter_method + '-' +Inter_Method;
          inter_method = inter_method.substring(1,inter_method.length());
          System.out.println("trx inter_method = " + inter_method);

i think normally u will get data from databsae as objects.they are like java beans having getter and setter methods.so you create a collection of those objects like collect all the objects coming from database into an arraylist or....
suppose you want to populate the dropdown box with say "username" from database object s, your code will look like that
<html:select property="name">
<html:options collection="databaseList" property="username" />
</html:select>
"databaseList" is collection(say.. ArrayList) of objects you are getting from database.this dropdown will contain all the "usernames" you are getting from database.

From database to drop down box

Hi all,
Suppose I have the following
String query ="Select name, number from Person";
I want to put all the "names" in a drop down box and all the "numbers" in a separate drop down box. When I do this:
while(rs.next()){
<select="person" onchange="showSelection">
<option value="<%=rs.getString("name")%>"><%=rs.getString("name")%></option></select>
I only get the value of the first name in my table. Can anyone help me?

Hi
I think you need to do some order. my suggestion is to create an Object that contains name and number like this:public class MyClass {
     String name;
     int number;
     public MyClass(String n,int num){
          setName(n);
          setNumber(num);
     //set and get methods for the data members...
}next, roll over the ResultSet and create MyClass object each time and add it to a Vector or something like that. usually a drop down box displays many times and it will be very bad if you will query the data base each time you want to display it, thats why i suggest you to save this Vector in a bean or somewhere else (of course, if the data is static).
than display the vector content like this:<select name="person" onchange="showSelection">
<%     Enumeration e=vec.elements();
     while(e.hasMoreElements()){
          MyClass m=(MyClass)e.nextElement();
%>          <option value="<%=m.getName();%>"><%=m.getName();%></option>
<%     }%>
</select>
<%     e=vec.elements();
%><select name="number" onchange="showSelection">
<%     while(vec.hasNext()){
          MyClass m=(MyClass)vec.next();
%>          <option value="<%=m.getNumber();%>"><%=m.getNumber();%></option>
<%     }%>
</select>pay attention on how you wrote the select tag: <select="person"...
and not: <select name="person"...
hope it helps
mamtz
BTW
think of using struts and custom tags in jsp it will much easier to do this!!!

How do I enable multiple dynamic drop down boxes?

I'm using Windows 2000, Java SDK 2 Standard, Tomcat, Apache, Microsoft Access and Macromedia Dreamweaver Ultradev 4.
With UltraDev I'm trying to create a jsp page that has more than one dynamic drop down box or more than one dynamic select list box. I can show one dynamic object and as many static objects as I need. But when I add a second dynamic drop down box, with a second recordset, the page will only display the first dynamic object and all content following that object will not display.

Here's the code:
<%@page contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" language="java" import="java.sql.*"%>

PreparedStatement StatementRecordset1 = ConnRecordset1.prepareStatement("SELECT STATE_NAME, COUNTRY FROM STATE");
ResultSet Recordset1 = StatementRecordset1.executeQuery();
boolean Recordset1_isEmpty = !Recordset1.next();
boolean Recordset1_hasData = !Recordset1_isEmpty;
Object Recordset1_data;
int Recordset1_numRows = 0;
%>
<%

Can somebody help me with drop down box in STRUTS?

Hi GURUs:
I am doing a drop down box with Struts, and I have seen previous post on the forum regarding how to do that.
Basically I have 2 classes
InquiryAction and InquiryResult.jsp
here is the code snippet from InquriyAction
public class InquiryAction
    extends Action {
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
                               ActionForm actionForm,
                               HttpServletRequest request,
                               HttpServletResponse response) {
    InquiryForm form = (InquiryForm) actionForm;
    if ( request.getParameter("submitting") == null ) {
      return mapping.findForward("inquiry");
    /** @todo get parameters and do a search **/
    /** @todo put returned serviceResult or whatever into session/request **/
    ArrayList inquiryResults = new ArrayList();
    inquiryResults.add(new InquiryResultDisplayBean("005001", "00656992",
        "04/01/02", "104.15", "AD", "Name1", "Name2", "5"));
    inquiryResults.add(new InquiryResultDisplayBean("005001", "00729912",
        "04/02/22", "55.20", "GB", "Name2", "Name2", "7"));
    request.setAttribute("inquiryResults", inquiryResults);
    request.setAttribute("hasMore", new Boolean(true));
    return mapping.findForward("results");
}and here is where I do the population of the drop down box in my JSP code
<td class ='resultd'>
<html:select property="PRKey"><logic:iterate id='transaction' collection='<%= request.getAttribute("inquiryResults") %>'>
<html : option value="<bean:write name='transaction' property='PRKey'/>" >
     <bean:write name='transaction' property='PRKey'/>
</html:option>
</logic:iterate>
</html:select>
</td>                                 However when i test the JSP page on my local app server, i got the following error:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot find bean under name org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN
at org.apache.struts.taglib.html.SelectTag.calculateMatchValues(SelectTag.java:301)
at org.apache.struts.taglib.html.SelectTag.doStartTag(SelectTag.java:244)
at jsp_servlet.__inquiryresults._jspService(__inquiryresults.java:544)
I did bind the "inquiryResults" with an arrayList, can somebody tell me what is wrong? thanks...

First: You can't nest tag library tags within tag library tags, unfortunately. So this:
<html:option value="<bean:write name='transaction' property='PRKey'/>" > ...for example, is a no-go. You'd have to write it like this:
<html:option value="<%= transaction.getPRKey() %>" > ...Second: The easiest way to do this is if the value and label properties of the InquiryResultDisplayBean objects are proper Java bean fields, meaning PRKey field has getPRKey() method. In that case, you can do this:
<jsp:useBean id="inquiryResults" class="full.package.InquiryResultDisplayBean" scope="request" />
<html:select property="PRKey">
<html:options collection="inquiryResults" property="PRKey" labelProperty="PRKey"/>
</html:select>

Multiple Drop down boxes

I have a jsp in which i'm using 5 drop downs.
I have to populate the last 2 drop downs according to the value selected in the first 3 drop downs. I can do this by selecting the first three drop downs and submitting the form, then load the other two drop downs. But I do not want to do it that way.
Please reply if you guys think of any other way.
Thanks for the help.
Anjana

Hi Priyankaswings,
Thanks for the reply. I guess you didn't understand what i was asking for.
According to what you said("if the value in first drop box is Fruit then in other drop box values are apple mango whatever .. like form validation"), it's not the problem selecting one drop box's value according to an other one.
here's my original problem description
************************************************************************I have a jsp in which i'm using 5 drop downs.
I have to populate the last 2 drop downs according to the value selected in the first 3 drop downs. I can do this by selecting the first three drop downs and submitting the form, then load the other two drop downs. But I do not want to do it that way.
For example, I have 1st drop down "Vehicles"(Cars, Vans,Trucks, MotorBikes), 2nd drop down "Types"(Sports cars, SUV's, family cars,Luxury cars etc), 3rd drop down "Make"(Acura, Honda, Volvo, Lexus, mazda, Vokswagon etc). These three drop downs will all be populated from the database. When the user selects one from each drop downs, according to that combination you need to populate the "Model".
Say i selected Cars in 1st drop down, SUV's in the second and Volvo in the third , it should populate the model according to the selected three values. Hope you get a clear picture now.
It's actually combination of three drop down boxes that i need to look for. And if at all the user keeps changing the selection of even one drop down out of the first 3 drop downs, the value of the last 2 drop downs will be changed.. Any idea???
Thanks,
Anjana

Drop down box user error

Created form with LiveCycle Designer on Windows. While testing form,
user reports issues with 'yes' and 'no' drop down boxes:
"90% of them,you cannot click on the very first option "YES" and make it stay in the box. You have to click on your second option, and then change No to
Yes."
I cannot reproduce the issue on my machine. Thinking this might be an older Adobe Reader issue on the user's machine, or a javascript issue as user is behind a company firewall.
Any suggestions?

final String accntErrStr = "AccNo=err";
final String monthErrStr = "Month=err";
final String errorSendTo = "../frontEnd.jsp?";
boolean accntErr = (accNo == null || accNo.equals(""));
boolean monthErr = ("Please Select".equals(monthDraw));
String sendTo = "";
if (accntErr) sendTo = errorSendTo + accntErrStr;
if (monthErr) {
if (accntErr) sendTo = sendTo + "&" + monthErrStr;
else sendTo = errorSendTo + monthErrStr;
//if (! addntErr && ! monthErr) sendTo = goodSendTo; ??
response.sendRedirect(sendTo);Or something along those lines...

Populating Drop Down Box

I am working on a form for my company. I am trying to populate the drop down box list from entries in a previous text field. For example I have a text field that directs users to type in a list of items. I want these items to then automatically generate into a drop box field. I have researched and tried for days with no success. The closest I have come is setting the drop box value to the text field but all this does is copy the list exactly into the drop box visible field...it does not set the values as selectable options. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Gina,
Here is some sample code for using a ComboBox in a JSP from an EditCurrentRecord bean. This particular example uses a query, you can also populate combo boxes, list boxes, radio buttons and checkboxes from a static list. See the JavaDocs for the EditCurrentRecord bean.
<jsp:useBean id="RowEditor" class="oracle.jbo.html.databeans.EditCurrentRecord" scope="request">
<%
RowEditor.initialize(application, session , request, response, out, "wt_bc_WT_bcModule.WalkthroughEngineSlidesView");
RowEditor.setTargetUrl("WalkthroughEngineSlidesView_SubmitInsertForm.jsp");
RowEditor.createNewRow();
RowEditor.setReleaseApplicationResources(true);
RowEditor.useComboBox("Presname","select pres_name,pres_name from wt_info","PRES_NAME","PRES_NAME");
RowEditor.render();
%>
</jsp:useBean>

Populating drop-down box from Server XML

Hello all,
I'm working on a REST - Lightroom interface, which I'm going to document as expose as a way for anyone to upload pictures to their site.
Anyway, I need to populate a drop-down with the story names and ids from this XML. Any ideas? I'm a top actionscripter/ruby/etc, but not too familiar with Lua. Looks good though.

Hope someone can help :)

Hi there,
I'm also facing an identical problem and would also like the solution. I've thought about using JavaScript in conjunction with JSP to populate the second drop down box dynamically. But first I need to retrieve the values in the first drop down box from a database and subsequently the 2nd drop down box - I'm thinking that a for loop needs to be used somehow. amishpg, I will let you know If I'm successful.

Reading from HTML Drop-Down Menu into JSP

Hi folks. I'm am just delving into JSP, and I have a very basic question. I've been looking around the internet for a good tutorial on how to read HTML form input data into my JSP page. I really haven't found anything, and was hoping that you could provide me with some good resources. I want to have just a basic HTML drop-down menu with a SQL query executed based on the menu selection. The selection from the drop-down menu should go into the SQL query where "Shawnee" currently is. Here is my JSP code:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252" import="java.sql.*"%>
<%
try
     Class.forName("net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");
     Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://khrcs4:1433/Mail_List;user=xxxx;password=xxxx");
     System.out.println("success");
     Statement st = con.createStatement();
     ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("select * from contacts where class like '%First Time Home Buyer Lenders%' and served like '%Shawnee%' order by company");
     while(rs.next())
          out.println(rs.getString(3)+"<br>"); //company
          out.println(rs.getString(12)+"<br>"); //address
          //out.println(rs.getString(13)+"<br>"); //address2
          out.println(rs.getString(8)+", "+rs.getString(9)+" "+rs.getString(14)+"<br>"); //city, state zip
          out.println(rs.getString(7)+"<br><br>"); //phone
catch (Exception ex)
     ex.printStackTrace();
%>

ArrayList recList = new ArrayList();
while(rs.next())
     recList.add(rs.getString(3));
put the recList in the session.
session.setAttribute("allrecords",recList);
Then in your jsp, get the recList from the session and loop it,
ArrayList recList = (ArrayList)session.getAttribute("allrecords");
for (var i=0; i < recList.size();++i){
     addOption(document.getElementById("drop-down box name"), valarray, valarray[i]);
function addOption(selectbox,text,value)
     var optn = document.createElement("OPTION");
     optn.text = trim(text);
     optn.value = trim(value);
     selectbox.options.add(optn);

How to get ALL values as default for a drop down box in JSF

Hi,
I have a drop down box in JSF page which retrieves values from LOVCache.java. I have values like Company, Client, User, ALL in the drop down box.
By default blank value is selected for the drop down box. I want to make ALL(which retrieves data for all the values) as default value for the drop down box.
Could any body help me? Any help must be appreciated.
Thanks,
Aseet

Thanks Nikhil. But I am fetching the values from the LOVCache.java.
I am using <af:selectManyChoice>. Is there any way I can use LOVCache.java value for selecting default values instead of hard coding?
I mean to say can I write
unselectedLabel="#{LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList.anyValue}"
where LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList is used to populate the drop down box.
Regards,
Aseet

Create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box

HELP!!! Can anyone please provide some guidance on how to create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box.
I have a form which – based on the department that's selected from a drop-down box – will have different form fields/text boxes, etc, made available.
Is this possible in LiveCycle, if so, can you please provide the script/info - as needed.
Thanks,

In the preOpen event of the second dropdown list you put something like (in formCalc):
if (dropdown1 == 1) then
$.clearItems()
$.setItems("Year, 2 Year, 3 Year")
elseif (dropdown1 == 2) then
$.clearItems()
$.setItems("3 Year, 4 Year")
endif
