Help with multiple forms
I'm new to the forums (and Java!) so please forgive me if this has already been asked or is a stupid question.
I'm using the Netbeans IDE to create a series of forms that collect user input. The project is a similar to a "wizard" that asks a series of questions, collects the user input, then performs a query on a database based on the user provided answers to the questions.
I assume that each question should be displayed on a new form, and when the user clicks "next", the data is added to an ArrayList until the wizard is complete. There are around 10-15 steps in this wizard (I know, it seems long but that's what my boss wants!), and I've drawn all the forms as separate .java files with JFrames in Netbeans.
I also have one wizard.java file that has a main() method and creates a wizard object that has an ArrayList used to store the data, and a get() and set() method to access the ArrayList.
The problem is when an action is performed on each of the steps' "next" button, I am trying to add to the ArrayList belonging to the wizard object. The compiler is complaining about it though. I think there's a problem with scope, but I really don't know for sure. I've butchered my code trying to figure out a way to do this. I come from a procedural programming background, and objects and interaction between classes just isn't making much sense to me.
Any ideas and help are greatly appreciated!!
I have have made a few wizards in my time as a freelancer and had it up to here with coding around JSP forms that I settled for a forms generation framework. There are a few out there that you might want to look at the next time you have to build web forms for your JSP application.
Creating multipage forms, and generating form elements should no longer be a heavy duty task. All forms do only 1 thing, and that's to collect user input.
A library like Formular (http://formular.redeye.no) or Devsphere Mapping Framework (http://www.devsphere.com/mapping/) should do the trick.
I personally like the way Formular handles wizards and takes care of all the navigation between screens. The other advantage of Formular is of course that you do not bloat your JSP with form handling code that would handle preselection of checkboxes and radio buttons, looping through arrays to generate option tags, displaying exceptions and form messages, etc.

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line?
Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line? I can't find anything in the documentation or a template that does this.
I am trying to create a "documents received" checklist with a check box on the left margin, a date-received field to the right of the check box and and a description of the document (Formatted Text) on the far right.
In the past I have entered the Fixed Text with a word processor, published it to a PDF file, then added the check box and date fields with the Acrobat Forms editor. I would prefer to use FormsCentral if it is possible.We now support multiple fields on one line. This post provides a brief overview.
Give it a try and send us your feedback.
Sorry it took so long.

ORACLE EXPRESS: build a page with multiple forms linked to one table
hi,
im using oravle application express. APEX
i would like to build a page with multiple forms linked to one table (orders) , the page has 4 from each one with different order_id number (depending on filtering), and if the order is prepared click yes for each order and this 'YES' should be UPDATED AND SAVED to each order number in the same table with the press of one button.
i created all the form as (sql query)
and create one update process
(UPDATE ORDERS
SET TRAY_PREPARED =:P10_TRAY_PREPARED_1
WHERE ORDER_ID =:P10_ORDER_ID_1;
UPDATE ORDERS
SET TRAY_PREPARED =:P10_TRAY_PREPARED_2
WHERE ORDER_ID =:P10_ORDER_ID_2;
UPDATE ORDERS
SET TRAY_PREPARED =:P10_TRAY_PREPARED_3
WHERE ORDER_ID =:P10_ORDER_ID_3;
UPDATE ORDERS
SET TRAY_PREPARED =:P10_TRAY_PREPARED_4
WHERE ORDER_ID =:P10_ORDER_ID_4;
i dont know really if i can do that, but it appear hat it actually saving according to order_id number , but not all the time some time it saved the value as "null".
please guide me what is the correct way to do this.

BUT IT WAS FOR MULTIPLE INSERT
thanks.Sans,
I am no Apex expert, but with a situation as "complex" as yours, have you thought about creating a VIEW that joins these 7/8 tables, placing an INSTEAD OF trigger on that view to do all the business logic in the database, and base your application on the view?
This is the "thick-database" approach that has been gaining momentum of late. The idea is to put your business logic in the database wherever possible, and let the application (Form, Apex, J2EE, whatever) concentrate on UI issues, -
H:inputtext not working with multiple forms in JSF2.2
h:inputText is not working in the latest JSF2.2 with multiple forms. I have 2 forms
form1 have: one command button and one input text
form2 has: one input text and one output label
on click of command button in form1, i am rendering the form2(both outputlabel and input text).
but only output label is rendered properly with correct values (corresponding getter method gets called and value is displaying) but the input text is not calling the corresponding getter method hence showing null.
Note: we noticed this issue only if we use multiple forms, within single form its working fine. also it worked fine in JSF2.0
Version used: JSF api - 2.2 (com.sun.faces) JSF impl - 2.2 (com.sun.faces)
let me know if anyone have solution to handle this.
the forms are not nested and both the beans are in View scope.
<h:form id="form1" prependId="false">
<a4j:commandLink id="actionEdit" title="Click" action="#{bean.action}"
render="paymentInstructionDetail" styleClass="iconLarge edit" />

<h:outputLabel value="#{bean1.amount}" id="sampleLabel"/>

Problem with multiple forms and subview
I have a problem when using NetBean Web Pack (JDK6, Net Beans 5.5, JSF 1.2).
1) I created a JSF page (hello.jsp) and a page fragment (header.jspf) inside Web Pack, and let the JSF page (hello.jsp) includes the page fragment.
2) The include instruction is outside of the "form" element id=main_form() of the first JSF page.
3) Inside the page fragment (header.jspf), I put a form (id=header_form) with some input fields inside the "subview" element.
4) When running the web application, the form and its children (id=header_form) inside the subview are not rendered.
It seems to be a problem with multiple forms on a page and the subview.
Do I use these JSF components incorrectly? Any advice?
ThanksThe forms are not nested.
hello.jsp
<webuijsf:body ...>
<!-- BEGIN: include header -->
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 0px; left: 0px; top: 0px">
<jsp:directive.include file="Header.jspf"/>
</div>
<!-- END: include header -->
<webuijsf:form ...>
From above fragment, you can see the header.jspf is outside of the form element. -
Hey there!
I have two issues with online form data collection and am completely stumped. It's a real struggle to find useful documentation for Acrobat forms!
#1 - I have created a form uploaded it to Acrobat.com, and have been able to collect test form data. In the local responses portfolio, I'm able to use the 'Update' button to bring the latest form data into the portfolio. But I would like to have a colleague be responsible for monitoring the form data and we're running into problems. He's able to open the portfolio and has full access, however the 'Update' button is greyed out so he is unable to bring in new form data. We've already updated his 'Acrobat.com' username/password in Acrobat preferences to match mine, but still no luck. Any help?
#2 - Some computers are having issues with electronic submission. My best guess is that this is to do with Acrobat versions, as the issues all seem to come from computers where the form is completed using Acrobat Reader 8. The form was created with Pro 9, and form submission works for both Pro 9 and also Reader 9. Is there something I can do here? (And yes I know that it's a free upgrade to 9, but 8 is still in the official build for our organisation and I don't really have time to wait for them to complete an upgrade!)
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
JarrodHello Paul,
Thank you for your reply.
I use Ipower for my hosting. I see they use sendmail and the path on the server is - /usr/sbin/sendmail. Would this work?
The way I would like this to work would be:
1) I e-mail the PDF form to the client
2) Client opens and fills in the form
3) They hit submit and the form information eventually gets e-mailed to my business e-mail
I chose to use the HTTP method instead of e-mail because the PDF form says it can not be saved and if the client uses an internet beased e-mail like Yahoo it gets kind of messy.
But, does the HTTP delivery method make it more difficult since this is not embedded in a website?
Sorry, I did not realise this would be as involved as it is. Your help would be greatly appreciated. -
Livecycle design 8 Help with PDF forms
I am new to Livecycle 8. I have created a simple PDF form in Livecycle 8 which was orignally an excel form. I set it up with a submit button to submit by email to a designated person. The form is housed on an internal web site for viewers with adobe reader to open and fill out and then submit by email. The goal is for the designated receiver to receive the the same PDF form with the information filled out by the previous viewer. I was successful with the form being emailed to the designated person as long as the peson submitting the form was using adobe professional. If the viewer only has adobe reader, the form would not submit to the designated receiver. Please help?
Reader does not allow a local save of the form and data by default. To be able to add the attachment o an email message a local save must occur. You can Reader Extend your form to allow for this. Open th eform in Acrobat Pro. Under the Advanced menu choose the "Extend Features in Adobe Reader". Follow the wizard and save the result PDF as a different name ....I like to put RE in the name so I know it is Reader Extended. Try the new file.

Hi
I have created a registration form, where on the first page
the user enters a user name and password, then they go to the next
page where they enter their name. This then goes to the next page
where they enter their address, then there contact details.
But I want all these details to go on to a page where they
can review their details, then press a submit button which inserts
the data into a mysql db.
But I need help with how I do this?
I have created the following Java script in the body. Or
should it be in the header? Or on another form? to insert their
details:-
<% Insert Data %>
<jrun:sql datasrc="regift">
INSERT INTO account VALUES ('<%=
request.getParameter("User_Name").trim() %>',
'<%= request.getParameter("Password").trim() %>',
INSERT INTO name VALUES ('<%=
request.getParameter("First_Name").trim() %>',
'<%= request.getParameter("Last_Name").trim() %>'
INSERT INTO address VALUES ('<%=
request.getParameter("House_Number").trim() %>',
'<%= request.getParameter("Street").trim() %>',
'<%= request.getParameter("Town").trim() %>',
'<%= request.getParameter("County").trim() %>',
'<%= request.getParameter("Postcode").trim() %>'
INSERT INTO contact_details VALUES ('<%=
request.getParameter("Email_Address").trim() %>',
'<%= request.getParameter("Telephone_Number").trim()
%>'
</jrun:sql>
Is this correct?
Thanks for all your help, Lou.Your code is correct only for the first page. What you need
to do after the
initial record is entered is grab its ID and then on
subsequent pages you
would use and UPDATE sql statement

Hello, I have a somewhat complicated Report and I am hoping that I can create the Parameter Form in Reports (I would rather not use Forms because I don't know it as well)
Here's my problem:
Right now I have 2 fields that I need help with.
The first one is called "Report Name" and I have it coded to a bind variable that will search for a series of "work units" such as 02% or 03%
This works as coded, the problem comes with the other "Work Unit" field. What I have right now is a LOV that queries for work units that start in either 02 or 03. This variable will narrow down the report findings to the specific work unit selected. What I want is for this list to be dependant on what the user choses for report name.
For example if the user choses ReportName1 the report query finds work units with 02%, but the "work unit" field still displays the list of work units 02% and 03% and the user must know to only chose the certain work units for the specific "Report Name" selected.
If there is a way to somehow have the "Work Unit" field be dependant on the "Report Name" field please give me soem ideas of how to do it.Thats what I was worried about.
Well I have been trying to learn forms for some time now but I can't quite get the hang of it yet.
I don't really have anyone who knows it here, so I'm kind of learning on my own.
Thanks for the response.

Ok here is the problem,
I am trying to make a form in my existing fla document and
the form will not function.
I have created the form and used the exact same php script in
a seperate flash movie and the form worked fine but I can not get
it to work in my existing fla.
I would reall appreciate any help with this issue.....
I need my file
(download my file at
http://66.70.213.43/testsite/main3.fla
to have a working email submission form.
this file has no working form on it now and the existing form
can be modified but I would like to keep the submit and the reset
buttons as is if possable.
I would like to use the php email style that is in the lesson
on gotoandlearn.com ( the lesson is listed as sending mail with php
but I am willing to accept other methods if needed.
The Movie clip symbol of the actual form with the submit and
reset button is call P5_s7
The Movie clip symbol of the page which contains the form is
called PAGE 5
I will edit the php and the flash script after you send the
file to me to reflect the email addresses that I want to use so for
testing purposes you can use any email that you want.
I would really appreciate it if someone with more flash
experience could help me out and post a working copy of my file and
the php script that the form links to so that I could re download
then.
Thank you in advance
Please note that there may be some $$$ in it for you if you
can help me.......Don't think you're going to find anyone here who will just be
willing to do the work for you. You might want to check out the
Flash and PHP Integration sample file that comes with Flash 8 for
some pointers on how to get this started.
If you have specific questions later, write back! Good luck! -
Help with Login Form (JSP DB Java Beans Session Tracking)
Hi, I need some help with my login form.
The design of my authetication system is as follows.
1. Login.jsp sends login details to validation.jsp.
2. Validation.jsp queries a DB against the parameters received.
3. If the query result is good, I retrieve some information (login id, name, etc.) from the DB and store it into a Java Bean.
4. The bean itself is referenced with the current session.
5. Once all that's done, validation.jsp forwards to main.jsp.
6. As a means to maintain state, I prefer to use url encoding instead of cookies for obvious reasons.I need some help from step 3 onwards please! Some code snippets will do as well!
If you think this approach is not a good practice, pls let me know and advice on better practices!
Thanks a lot!Alright,here is an example for you.
Assume a case where you don't want to give access to any JSP View/HTML Page/Servlet/Backing Bean unless user logging system and let assume you are creating a View Object with the name.
checkout an example (Assuming the filter is being applied to a pattern * which means when a resource is been accessed by webapplication using APP_URL the filter would be called)
public doFilter(ServletRequest req,ServletResponse res,FilterChain chain){
if(req instanceof HttpServletRequest){
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) req;
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
String username = request.getParameter("username");
String password = request.getParameter("password");
String method = request.getMethod();
String auth_type = request.getAuthType();
if(session.getAttribute("useInfoBean") != null)
request.getRequestDispatcher("/dashBoard").forward(req,res);
else{
if(username != null && password != null && method.equaIsgnoreCase("POST") && (auth_type.equalsIgnoreCase("FORM_AUTH") || auth_type.equalsIgnoreCase("CLIENT_CERT_AUTH")) )
chain.doFilter(req,res);
else
request.getRequestDispatcher("/Login.jsp").forward(req,res);
}If carefully look at the code the autherization is given only if either user is already logged in or making an attempt to login in secured way.

Help with web form script. PHP, CGI, Perl???
anyone willing to help with a web form script? I have a form built, but cant seem to figure out the scripting! Should I be using Perl, CGI, PHP... What do I need to enable? I am a complete novice when it comes to scripts. Looking for a little friendly help.
Here is a simple bit of PHP to stick in the page your form posts to. You would need to edit the first three variables to your liking, and add the html you want to serve afterwards:
<pre>
<?php
$emailFrom = '[email protected]';
$emailTo = '[email protected]';
$emailSubject = 'Subject';
$date = date('l, \t\h\e dS \o\f F, Y \a\t g:i A');
$browser = $HTTPSERVER_VARS['HTTP_USERAGENT'];
$hostname = $HTTPSERVER_VARS['REMOTEADDR'];
$message = "$date\n\nAddress: $hostname\nBrowser: $browser\n\n";
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
$message .= $key . ": " . $value . "\n";
$mailResult = mail($emailTo,$emailSubject,$message,"From: $emailFrom");
?>
</pre>
This script will grab the server's date and the submitter's address and browser type. It will then list the name and value of each form field you have put on your form.
Also, this script expects your form method="post".
Lastly, you can offer alternate text later on in your html page based on the success of the above script with a snippet like this:
<pre><?php
if ($mailResult) {
echo "Your comments have been received thank you.";
} else {
echo "There was an error. Please try again or contact us using an alternate method.";
?></pre> -
Help with Scripting forms when additional characters added
Hi,
I am new to scripting in adobe professional, I thank anyone in advance for any advice or help they can give me.
I am trying to use the calcuations within the forms that I am putting fields onto. In the process I discovered that the program the forms are within are attaching a pipe and additional characters after the actual name that I have named them. So, I am not able to use even the simple calculations within adobe to "sum" fields. For example: I named the field "1_1Text" and this is what displays when you go into the calculations and pick the fields you want. But the actual name is "1_1Text|1234567" so the calculations will not work.
I take it then I need to use the advanced scripting but I am unsure of the format for a routine such as this. I have a little knowledge of javascript but it has been awhile. There must be a scan to find the pipe and then you should be able to chop off the extra characters since I will never know the characters the program adds on so then I can do calculations on these fields. Then you would have to put them into an array or something to save them? Any help with a script or hints would surely be appreciated.
Thanks!Could explain more fully how you are creating your forms and what programs you are using from the creation of the base document to which program and how you are adding fields.
I think you are misunderstanding me. I use Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0. I can get the calculations to work correctly if I use the form as it is after creating it.
But these forms are put into an SQL database and they get selected within a VB.net program or ASP.net program (both are used). So these programs (VB.net or ASP.net) are adding the extra characters at the end, hence I do not know the names of the fields when the forms are being filled in. So the calculations do not work with the "original names" that I created for the fields.
I just figured if I created a routine that looped through and chopped off the extra characters these programs put on the end I would be able to do the calcuations and they would work. I believe there is a substring operation within javascript.
