Help with JSP:GetProperty Tag

Howdy all,
I have a
<jsp:getProperty name='input' property='code01'/>
tag and would like to be able to put a variable in the property field so that I can increment from code01 to code02 to code 03 by concatenating strings
Is this possible?

Thanks for your input on the forum, but I tried with no sucess to put it into action:
<% String colname="code02"; %>
<jsp:getProperty name='Input' property='<%=colname%>' />
Produced this:
Internal Servlet Error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Cannot find any information on property '' in a bean of type 'com.infomed.InputBean'

Any Help you can give would be greatly appreciated, what I need to do is cycle through code01, code02....code15
and use the string to do it, but use a counter integer to create the string, ie..'code0' + i and then use the sting to access
on of the member properties in the been...(Code01, Code02) ertc.

Formatting fonts within jsp:getProperty tag????

I'd diplaying a piece of information on one of my pages using the jsp:getProperty tag.... there seems to be no way I can effect the display of the property with the font/color that I want - when I look at the resulting HTML code, I see that this tag has created a new HTML table specifying the class "inFieldSet" (a CSS class I presume, and which I also presume if overriding my desired font/color settings). Is there a way to make the page display the property using the font/color that I want without writing a custom tag?
Scott

All the JSP getProperty tag does, is get a string returning the value of a property. It would not apply any formatting to your page.
I would take a look at the "getter" for this property to see what value it is returning.
Most probably it is returning a chunk of preformatted html.

Help with JSP and logic:iterate

I have some queries hope someone can help me.
I have a jsp page call request.jsp:
====================================
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>
<html>
<body>
   <%@ page import="RequestData" %>
   <jsp:useBean id="RD" class="RequestData" />
   <%Iterator data = (Iterator)request.getAttribute("Data");%>
   <logic:iterate id="element" name="RD" collection="<%=data%>">
      <jsp:getProperty name="RD" property="requestID" />
      <%=element%><br>
   </logic:iterate>
</body>
</html>
And I have the RequestData.java file:
======================================
private int requestID = 1234;
public int getRequestID() { return requestID; }
The jsp page display:
======================
0 RequestData@590510
0 RequestData@5b6d00
0 RequestData@514f7f
0 RequestData@3a5a9c
0 RequestData@12d7ae
0 RequestData@e1666
Seems like the requestID is not returned. Does anybody know this?
I have done the exact one using JSP and servlets, trying to learn using JSP and custom tags. The one with JSP and servlet looks like:
============================================
<%@ page import="RequestData" %>
<%Iterator data = (Iterator)request.getAttribute("Data");
while (data.hasNext()) {
   RequestData RD = (RequestData)data.next();
   out.println(RD.getRequestID() );
}%>

Oh think I got it...
but one thing I'm not sure is...
If I use "<jsp:useBean id="RD" class="RequestData" />", do I still need "<%@ page import="RequestData" %>"?
I tried without and it gives me error...

Please help me.....

Actually you're probably off on a false trail with jsp:useBean. The more up to date methods use tag libraries (typically JSTL) and access bean attributes using EL, bean expression language. E.g. you put your initial form data into a request attribute called "data" and you put:
<input type="text" name="property1" value="${data.property1}" ....useBean is no use for binding returned fields from a form. Always remember that your JSP generates HTML and once that HTML is sent to the browser that's it, the JSP has done it's job and finished. Only with JSF, at present, does what you write in your JSP affect the processing of received form data. When you get the form data back you need to "bind" the values from the request back to the bean. A framework like Spring will do this stuff for you, but in a raw Servlet/JSP environment it's up to you.

Help with jsp and javaBean in eclipse/Tomcat

Hi,
I am new to JSP and JavaBean. I am going through tutorial for a jsp page that uses a javaBean. I am using eclipse to create jsp page and the java bean.
My eclipse project "Date" has five package as under:-
1. Deployment Descriptor
2. Java Resources: src
3. build
4. WebContent
I have my data.jsp page in WebContent/WEB-INF/ folder. When I just run date.jsp in a browser as: http://localhost:8080/Date/date.jsp, it gets launched into the browser correctly. But when I add a JavaBean "TimeFormatterBean.java" in the Java Resources:src folder and use it in date.jsp page, I get errors as under:-
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP:

</body>
</html>I can see "TimeFormatterBean.class" in build/classes folder.
If anyone could please help me out with this, it would be very helpful
Thanks a lot!

You probably should place TimeFormatterBean inside a package, or maybe you could try importing it , even if it�s in the default package, with something like this <%@ page import="TimeFormatterBean" %> at the top

Help with JSP/Weblogic/Tomcat Discrepencies

Hi,
          I have something very strange happening. I recently did some JSP stuff on
          WLS60SP1 and all went quite well. I then took those same JSP pages and tried
          them out on the latest release of TOMCAT. I was really impressed that
          everything seemed to be completely transparent and working just fine until
          the following situation:
          When I reference, within a JSP page, an object that has previously been
          added to the request scope that has just been created, but not messed with
          in anyway...meaning all the attributes in this bean have their default
          values set...and they are all Strings with the exception of one Integer
          using this format:
          <%= custVal.getCustomerNumber() %>
          - In WLS, what shows in the text field on the form is nothing, because
          customer number in the custVal object is null (default for a String)..this
          is what I want.
          - In Tomcat, what shows it the word "null".
          ...here is the weird part, by changing from scriptlet references to the
          <jsp:getProperty....> format such as....
          <jsp:getProperty name="custVal" property="customerNumber"/>
          -In WLS, he is still a happy camper and works just fine regardless of how I
          reference the bean
          -In Tomcat, I also get the correct results that I want.
          So, unlike most postings, I found out how to fix it but I would like to know
          why...any ideas?
          Thanks in advance,

Help with jsp page

I have a servlet which passes details to a jsp page, i am having trouble picking up what is passed in the jsp page can somebody help me with this?
this is the lines from the servlet which should pass the data:
request.setAttribute("notvalid", "whatShouldIputHere");
               RequestDispatcher dispatcher = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/mypage.jsp");
               dispatcher.forward(request, response);          This is the jsp page i have tried to make:
<body>
     <jsp:usebean id="notvalid"
          class ="site.validator2"
          Scope="request"     />
     <h1>message: </h1>
     <jsp:getProperty name="notvalid" property="notvalid" />
</body>
</html>

The fundamental problem is that the OP is asking questions about Servlet and JSP development without fully understanding the basics of containers and the rendezvous method of data sharing, life-cycle, data scope, and the like.
It is better that (s)he read up on the basics.

URGENT help with JSP

Any help with this will be really appreciated. I'm new to programming.
If I search for an ssn in a database, I want to view all records relating to that ssn. However, I am getting all the records in the table.
eg.
at the prompt for ssn, let's say I enter 111111111
I would like to see
111111111 abc xyz etc
111111111 pdg ppp etc
however, I am getting
000000000 utt tui etc
111111111 tug etg etc
How do I make limit the search to the ssn I want?
The related code is below.
Thanks.

<% MyTaxSuppress = MySuppressTaxList.getNext(); %>

I don't see anywhere in your code where you conditionally output a tuple from your database. You seem to be outputting everything.
Maybe you need:
<% if (sSSN==input_value){ %>
<TD><input TYPE="checkbox" name="<%=rowID %>" ></TD>
<% } %>

Populating combobox in jsp page from javabean using jsp:getProperty tag

hi,
i am new to jsp, so i don;t know how to populate a combobox in jsp page with productid attribute from a javabean called Bid . i want to have a code to automatically populating combobox using the attribute value from javabean.
please reply me.

No Sir,
I think I did not explained clearly.what I try to say is I dont want to use JSTL.I am using only Scriptlets only.I can able to receive the values from the database to the resultset.But I could not populate it in Combobox.
My code is :
<tr>
<td width="22%"><font color="#000000"><strong>Assign To Engineer</strong></font></td>
<td width="78%">
     <select NAME="Name" size="1">
<option><%=Username%></option>
</select> </td>
</tr>
in HTML
and in Scriptlets:
ps1 = con.prepareStatement
          ("SELECT Username FROM Users");
          rs2=ps1.executeQuery();
          System.out.println("SECOND Succesfully Executed");
          while(rs2.next())
               System.out.println("Coming inside rs2.next loop to process");
               Username=rs2.getString("Username");
               System.out.println("Success");
               System.out.println("The value retrieved from UsersTable Username is:"+Username);
In the server(Jboss console) I can able to display the username but I could not populate it in the Combobox .
Can you now suggest some changes in my code,Please..
Thanks a lot

How to call a method repeatedly with JSP custom tag?

This senerio is very similar to the usage of StringBuffer.
I have a problem which can be solved easily with scriptlets:
<% NameValuePair nvp = new NameValuePair(request.getQueryString()); %>
<a href="foo.html?<%=nvp.add(name1", "value1").add("name2", "value2").toString();%">">Foo</a>
<a href="bar.html?<%=new NameValuePair(request.getQueryString()).add("x", 1).add("y", 2).toString()%>">Bar</a>
But I cannot use scriplets because it's turned off. I can only use jsp custom tag / jstl. How would I implement this functionality with a custom tag? How would the JSP code look like? Our container supports JSP 2.0.
Thanks.</a>

hi,
you can do within 2 step-
1) use <%@page import="your_java_class"%>
2)use scriptlet code <%...%> and write coding in this tag.
means create instance of your java class .
<% your_java_class obj1=new your_java_class();
obj1.method_of_your_java_class();
%>or
3) you can make javabean to use method of java class.[Best option]
Thanx

Help with JSP Forward !!!

I have 3 pages ...1) index.jsp 2) Forward.jsp 3) welcome.jsp
I have 2 fields in the index.jsp once upon filling & hit submit it has to to go Forward.jsp page...in the Forward.jsp..i have coded only one tag with
<jsp:forward page="welcome.jsp" />
I have one question...once the page comes to Forward page...will it display the contents of the Welcome .jsp in the same page itself...or it will go to Welcome.jsp page..
As i saw it will display the contents of Welcome.jsp page in itself...
Please let me know...
Regards
Gnanesh

I understand your question only because I have a set up totally identical to yours. The thread Matt suggested does explain the situation (i.e. the server passed control to another page but the client doesn't know that), but doesn't necessarily give a good solution a problem that you may have, and that I do have:
If the user sees the welcome page, and for some reason decides to "reload", the forward page is re-executed, even though it has done its job. This could be a problem for session management if you specifically don't want that job being done twice in a session. Now you could hack around that, but I'd really rather see a neat solution. Is there one?

Please help with margins and tags

Hope someone can help with a sudden problem I’m having with tags and margins. Out of the blue it seems Dreamweaver wants to create a margin between two <div’s,> but only if a tag is applied to the text, such as <p><h1><h2> etc. Here’s an example; Say at the top of the page you have a <div> named “header,” below it there’s a <div> named “content.” So far no problem, but as soon as I put text in the “content” <div> and give the text a tag, the “content <div> drops roughly 25 – 30px below the “header” <div> leaving a margin. To make it even stranger; If I were to insert an image into the “content” <div> first, then the text, it behaves as normal. I’m just baffled; if anyone has an answer it would be greatly appreciated.

That did it, thank you so much!
It's still just a bit of a mystery why it suddenly started doing this, guess I’ll just have to strip that code in manually from now on, unless you have the answer on how to have it default to a margin and padding of 0.
Anyway, thank you for your help.

Help with css3 rollover tag please

Hey guys I'm stumped and need help with positioning some big picture buttons.
Here is the link o the home page http://ceramic-planet2.businesscatalyst.com/
As u can see I have four picture buttons using css3 roller but I want all four buttons next to each other
2 buttons next to each other with the next 2 directly below .
Now orgininally I used the dreamweaver rollover button and everything was inline so flowed across the page no problem. These are divs and I've tried to make 2 panels side by side among other hings but I'm not getting there so I thought one of u clever guys would have no problems telling me what to do.
Please help I'm not getting the inline or absolute placement right
Dave

Hey Dave,
You need to remove the margin from #mosaicbutton, #kitchenbutton
and then add float : left; to #bathroombutton, #floorbutton, #mosaicbutton, #kitchenbutton,
That'll get you buttons sitting the way you want them, you may need to play with the margins after that.

Help with JSP Tag Libraries

Could someone please help me with the setup process of tag libraries? I've looked on the Internet and found some instructions, but they are all for Tomcat. I'm using Jserv, and I'm not sure how to setup my environment to work with custom/tag libraries. Could someone help me by giving me some instructions or sending me to an article that could help me?
Thanks in advance!

Hi pvongboupha
The best source for getting to know how to set up tag libraries is the JSP specification. You can download this from :
http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/download.html
See the chapter on Tag libraries. Any J2EE compliant server will conform to these rules.
You can also see a chapter from Core Servlets & JSP by Marty Hall. This chapter is on Tag Libraries
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/Books/javaserverpages/cservletsjsp/
Keep me posted on your progress.
Good Luck!

Thanks!

This is actually the way I ended up solving my own problem:
<c:choose>
                                                         <c:when test="${product.presentationChannelText == 'PlatinumHD'}">
                                                              <td width="10">
                                                              </td>
                                                              <td width="1">
                                                                   <html-el:checkbox property="dishHDProduct" value="${product.productId}:${product.presentationChannelText}:${product.programmingType}" disabled="true"/>
                                                              </td>
                                                         </c:when>
                                                         <c:otherwise>
                                                              <td width="1">
                                                                   <html-el:radio property="dishHDProduct" value="${product.productId}:${product.presentationChannelText}:${product.programmingType}"/>
                                                              </td>
                                                         </c:otherwise>
                                                    </c:choose>Because I am not able to use JSP 2.0 and therefore must use JSTL 1.0
