Dynamic select using jsp?

grrrrr............ok so I'm kinda new to this, and just a little frustrated. I'm gonna ramble here, so any time I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about it 's because I don't..correct me. I want to include a bean in a jsp which will buil d a dynamic select box on the fly. That is, connect to an LDAP db and place each value returned in the query in a select box. Now, I can compile and run the bean in my IDE and watch the output in the console. It's correct because I see "<select><option value = hall>hall....</select>". In the buildSelectBox() method I'm using System.out.println to display each line of my select box (is that right?). Now, when I copy the .class file over to the server I was initially getting an error because the bean wasn't found. I resolved that by properly compiling the bean in a package. Problem is that if I call the bean.buildSelect() method in the .jsp nothing comes back. The page is left blank. What in the world is that about? Can someone push me toward a tutorial that can push me in the right direction or sumthin? Why am I having so much trouble with this? Should I be building the select on the jsp?
regards,
mat

Hi!
If i understand you correctly :-) you are doing not very right things. I don't want it to seem like I'm going to teach you, but:
The Bean that has buildSelect() method is not a bean at all. Usualy Beans contain getter/setters and accumulate data. If you want to build html code dynamicaly then you should use servlets(Which is not very flexible in your situation, I think), not JSPs. And if you are using JSPs then you have to make Tag which will do this everything.
Other way is to use Struts framework which is very good and flexible for building web applications - it has it's own tags for many cases. You can make loops in JSPs, use beans and all that stuff.
Guys will correct me if I missed something.
Good luck

How to create two level dynamic list using JSP , Java Script and Oracle

I am new in JSP. And i am facing problem in creating two level dynamic list using JSP ,Java Script where the listdata will come from Oracle 10g express edition database. Is there any easy way in JSP that is available on in ASP.NET.
Plz response with details.

1) Learn JDBC API [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/index.html].
2) Create DAO class which contains JDBC code and do all SQL queries and returns or takes ID's or DTO objects.
3) Learn Servlet API [http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/tutorial/doc/].
4) Create Servlet class which calls the DAO class, gets the list of DTO's as result, puts it as a request attribute and forwards the request to a JSP page.
5) Learn JSP and JSTL [http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/tutorial/doc/]. Also learn HTML if you even don't know it.
6) Create JSP page which uses the JSTL c:forEach tag to access the list of DTO's and iterate over it and prints a HTML list out.
You don't need Javascript for this.

Error on a Dynamic Select using Pro*C

I am a new user on Pro*C and I am facing an error for which I could not find a solution in the Pro*C/C++ Programmer’s Guide. The problem occurs when I do a dynamic SELECT to retrieve sequence of numbers (from 0 to 10) from a very simple table in a database.
The program is retrieving the following sequence: {705, 961, 1217, 1473, 1729, 1985, 2241, 2497, 2753, 3009} rather than the sequence {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}.
It’s very interesting to notice that the retrieved sequence, in hexadecimal, is equal to {2C1, 3C1, 4C1, 5C1, 6C1, 7C1, 8C1, 9C1, AC1, BC1}.
I am quite sure that I'm missing a small detailed here and I would appreciate
any help. Please find below the code that I am using.
Thanks a lot!

No need to specify the length if the data type is number and pointing to Long.
You can directly map the values using INTO clause.

How to get a dynamic pages using jsp?

actually using jsp we create static pages.
My question is whether it is possible to create dynamic pages. ie the page should reflect changes without refreshing or reloading. for example we have date timings frequently updated without refreshing

Read Beginning JSP from WROX Press. It is a good book for developing dynamic JSP using all latest technologies.

Cancel- and main-button dynamically generated using JSP-pages

Maybe a HOWTO for the Jdev-team.
HOWTO get rid of the delete and main-button in your jsp-pages?
Very simple!
Go to the container_bottom.jsp page in your webapp/jsp-folder and delete the code for the cancel-button => now the user can render his own buttons by using a header.html, contents.jsp and footer.html for the jsp-pages.

We tried the same thing you are trying to do and got
very far, but it quickly became very complicated. We
realized it was just simpler to use the screenflow as
intended.
By this I mean, if your parent form has 4 buttons
(A,B, C and SUBMIT), you should design different
paths in your screen flow for each button. so when a
user clicks button A, the parent form submits back to
Fuego engine, engine looks at screenflow and send
them down the button A path to the Form A. When they
hit submit on Form A, screenflow goes back to parent
form.Hi, bcespinola:
Our team finally decide use jsp with YUI (Yahoo User Interface Library) to achieve this design. Wish this could help you. All popup window would be replaced by Dialog of YUI. Thanks for your help.

XMLDataSet and Dynamic XML using JSP

I am trying to use the XMLDataSet function to call a jsp page
instead of an xml file. The jsp page fetches records out of a db
and creates xml to return to the spry function. Nothing seems to be
returned, and blank spry data region on page.
If i supply a xml file to the function it works correctly.
I adapted the ASP/PHP samples from XMLExport demo. Code as
follows:- If i run 2nd jsp directly, the browser shows the xml as
expected.
--- TEST.JSP ---
<script type="text/javascript">
Spry.Data.Region.debug=true;
var dsPeople = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("transtoxml.jsp",
"company/person");
</script>
--- transtoxml.jsp ---
<%@ page language="java"
import="java.sql.*, java.io.*, java.util.*,
com.Ostermiller.util.*"
errorPage="" %>
<%@ include file="globals.jsp" %>
<%
String SQL="";
Statement sTransaction;
ResultSet rTransaction;
try
Class.forName(className);
con =
java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL,userName,password);
}catch(Exception e){
out.print(e.toString());
out.print("Error connecting to database " + connectionURL);
SQL ="SELECT ";
SQL+="[ID], ";
SQL+="[DocumentNo]";
SQL+="FROM TRX_TRANSACTION_MAPPING";
sTransaction = con.createStatement();
try {
rTransaction = sTransaction.executeQuery(SQL);
response.setContentType("text/xml");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
response.setHeader("pragma","no-cache");
%>
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?>
<company>
<% while(rTransaction.next()) { %>
<person>
<id><%=(rTransaction.getString("ID"))%></id>
</person>
<% } %>
</company>
<%
response.flushBuffer();
sTransaction.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
out.print(e);
%>

This is the xml output the jsp gives when run directly:- Cut
n pasted from browser. There does appear to be an error, because
the spry:state="error" div is being displayed. If i paste the
following into a file all is ok, any ideas anyone.
regards

How to build dynamic menus using JSP==Urgent==Please Help me

Hello,
I have exhausted searching on internet to find a book
which tells how to build Dynmic menus in JSP.I dont want
to use DHTML as this becomes complex as the menu categories
are built using data from database.Is there any workaround in
java to do this without DHTML or atleast sample code.
can somebody help me in this regard.
Thanks
Jack

Hello a.s.kumar,
I would be greatful if you could send me the sample code.
[email protected]
we can't let MM Flash run away with the show can we. Javascript can do a decent job, but the underlying menu data is static.

Using jsp:include in showOneTab - main form not loaded on submit

I have a JSP page with JSF and ADF components. It is a large JSP containing some main details and then an af:showOneTab component to create a set of tabs. It works fine with JDK 1.5 and Tomcat 5.0 but when changed to Oracle Application Server 9.0.4 and JDK 1.3 We get the following error:
JspCompileException:.... code too large for try statement catch( Throwable e}....
Finding this to be caused by large size of JSP, we divided the page as follows - a main jsp containing the main form details and 1 jsp for each tab. Whenever one of the tabs is clicked the corresponding JSP is dynamically loaded using jsp:include tag as follows:
<af:showDetailItem text="Tab1" id="tab1" styleClass="menu">
          <f:subview id="viewTab1">
               <jsp:include page="Tab1.jsp" />
          </f:subview>
</af:showDetailItem>
There is a Submit button in the main jsp, when this is clicked the main jsp is reloaded.
But when the user navigates to any of the tabs and then clicks the Submit button in the main form, the main form is not reloaded - only the jsp for the currently selected tab is loaded.
(I am using f:view and h:form in the main form, and no form tag in the included jsps)
How to solve this problem?

The af:selectOneChoice components are in the test.jsp page included in main.jsp with jsp:include tag.
The code look like this:
               <af:selectOneChoice label="#{msg.team}"
id="soc1"
value="#{myBean.selectedTeamID}"
autoSubmit="true">
<f:selectItems id="si1" value="#{myBean.teamList}"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>
<af:selectOneChoice label="#{msg.subteam}"
id="soc2"
value="#{myBean.selectedSubteamID}"
partialTriggers="soc1"
rendered="#{myBean.selectedTeamID!=null}"
autoSubmit="true">
<f:selectItems id="si2" value="#{myBean.subteamList}"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>
the code works fine in the seperate page, but when I include the page the second selectOneChoice component doesnt get rendered.

Dynamic selections with FBL1N transaction

Hello,
I want to add new fields to do dynamic selections using FBL1N transaction.
I have "House bank" field in the company code fields, but I want this field in the document fields.
How could I do it?
Thank you very much

Dear Beatriz
Yes this is possible. You need to extend the selection view for the logical database KDF using transaction SE36, to have more selection fields available in the dynamic selections of the line item display.
Call up Transaction SE36 and enter the logical database KDF.
Choose "Extras --> Selection views".
Select the origin of view.
Choose "Display" or "Change".
Vendors: logical database: KDF
Permitted tables:
LFA1, LFB1: All fields are permitted that are contained in the VF_KRED
view. If necessary, you have to include additional fields in
the view fields category using Transaction SE11.
BSIK: all fields
Change the source code in program SAPDBKDF, Form INIT as explained in the SAP note 310886.
If this helps please reward with points.
Best Regards
Kesav

Dynamic selection field display

Hi
Can we display field values for a field from Dynamic selection ?

Hi,
Yes, you can display field values in dynamic selection field.
If I understood your question correctly, you are talking about the dynamic selection used in reports ( For eg. ME2N). The field which are appearing in dynamic selection shows the field values. ( you can press F4 and check the field values).
