How do I render Math expressions in my JSP pages?

Hi,
I am sort of a beginner using JSF. I am currently working on a project, where I need to render Math expressions such as fractions, square-roots, power-functions etc.
The problem is, that currently all I am able to do is to use the standard text operators such as '/', '^' etc. I would like to have 'real' math expressions rendered.
Does anyone know how to do this easiest? Is there any tag-libs available for doing so?
I realize it is doable using HTML, but because of the design of my application, it is not an option to insert HTML directly into the JSP pages.
Thanks in advance :)
Best Regards
Thomas

Thank you for the quick answer!
My problem is not to do the math, my problem is how to display the math on the JSP page. I want to display fractions, power-functions, square roots with the actual mathmatical symbols, not the symbols mentioned above (/, ^, sqrt, etc.).
Does anyone know how to do this, or if there exists any taglibs?

How can I stop the execution on a JSP page and start it again

Hi
I am making a program that simulates how to manage transactions when accessing a database by using locks. I have run into a problem and I hope someone has the time to help me.
When a user does an update the transaction commits and releases its locks when the program executes
<%stmt.executeUpdate("commit!"); %>
I need to put a break in to stop the program executing this statement, to illustrate the lock is set correctly.
I have tried to put in an alert box but this does not prevent the rest of the java code being executed.
I have tried to use prompt boxes, JavaScript functions, but these functions cannot have any java code in them.
I have tried using the java.swing JOptionPane boxes but this didn?t work either
I have tried to get input from the user but I don?t know how to retrieve this data on the same page. (As far as I know you have to use submit and even refresh the page or retrieve it on the next page).
Does anyone know how I can stop the execution on a JSP page and start it again (on same page)
Mette

I already have another client (Tomcat jsp application) running and it throws a SQLException correctly when I don�t put in a commit=true statement and don't close the database connection.
But the problem is how to get the code above to stop to illustrate I have set this lock.
I have tried to use the JOptionPane but because my program is running in a web browser I cannot use the JOptionPane dialog box.
I have tired using an alert box but it executes the commit statement before the alert box is dispayed. So this does not work
While (i < 2)
if( i==1)
%>alert(�The transactions commits when you press Ok�); <% //what it to stop execution here
else
stmt.executeUpdate(�commit�);
I am not using threads so I cannot use the sleep function.
I am using mysql and have already configured it to detect deadlocks and how long to wait for locks.
Thanks for your help

How to display XML file(as markup) in jsp page..?

Hi All,
* I have to display the XML file(as markup) in jsp page (Tree Format)....
* My XML file is an java.io.file object , and how to view this XML file on my JSP page...........
Thanks in Advance,
JavaImran

You mean you want to see the XML source?
You need to replace the characters '<' and '&' with corresponding entities '<' and '&'. You can use replaceAll, but do the ampersands first.
Then I suggest you probably want to put them in a <PRE> block.

How to retrieve the parameter names from a JSP page ? Urgent Please

Hello,
Can anybody tell me how to retrieve the parameter names from the JSP
page. (without using getParameterNames() method.)
The problem with the getParameterNames() method is I get the Jumbled output.
I need it very badly
With regards
Ananth R
email:[email protected]
[email protected]

Dear duffymo,
My primary intention is to convert the JSP form information into a XML file.
If I do not get the Parameter names in the correct order how can I maintain
tag order in XML file.
For ex: (JSP PAGE VIEW)
Name--
FirstName
MiddleName
LastName
Address--
Street1
Street2
City
Country
&so on
(XML File to be generated)
<Name>
<FirstName>Value</FirstName>
</Name>
<Address>
<street1>value</street1>
</Address>
& so on
If I use getParameterNames() to get all the parameter names(Which form the tag names in the XML file ) the Enumeration object it returns will not be in the same order as the text fields in JSP.From this I can not construct a meaningful XML file.
order means: Order of entry on the page, from top to bottom
That's it
Waiting for your responses

Hi Mariano,
I'm using JSP presentation too. In "Interactive Component Call" active i'm using "Use JSP presentation", but i only can define one instance variable, i need to add more instance variables. In "Advanced" option of this task, i have the argument mapping .. but i don't understand how to use it.
I have a instance variable called "genders" of the type String[Int] (Associative Array) and i'm mapping this instance variable in "Arguments Show In" option of the advanced option of JSP presentation. In JSP presentation i have the code:
<select <f:fieldName att="person.gender"/>>
               <c:forEach var="gender" begin="0" items="${genders}" varStatus="status">
                    <c:choose>
                         <c:when test="${person.gender == gender}">
                              <option value="<c:out value="${gender}"/>" selected="true"><c:out value="${gender}"/></option>
                         </c:when>
                         <c:otherwise>
                              <option value="<c:out value="${gender}"/>"><c:out value="${gender}"/></option>
                         </c:otherwise>
                    </c:choose>
               </c:forEach>
          </select>And in my screenflow i have the code:
genders[0] = "Male"
genders[1] = "Female"But when i run my application, i have the error: "The task could not be successfully executed. Reason: 'java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Integer'."

How to use a session, created in a jsp page, in a php page

Hello, forgive me for the newbie question.
Here is my problem:
I want to have a jsp page create a session, set some session variables and then redirect to a php page which will access those same session variables.
I have the redirection worked out, but I can't seem to find out how to use the jsp session in my php script.
Is this possible at all, and if so, how does it work?

Note that javascript runs on the client side, and JSP runs on the server. JSP and the session objects are NOT available to javascript in reaction to the user.
If this function is called only when the page is first created, not when the user interacts with the page, or if you want that value to be constant with respect to the javascript, then you can do this:
<%
String someValue = (String)session.getAttribute("theAttributeName");
%>
<script type="text/javascript">
     Calendar.setup({inputField:"f_date_dfFirstPmtDate",
                                          button:"f_trigger_dfFirstPmtDate",
                                         singleClick:true,
                                          ifFormat:<%=someVale%>});
</script>

"package University does not exist".How can i overcome this problem. The package University, which you are trying to import, must be in the classpath. If you removed it then you will have to add it back.
i have tried my best..but tell me if there's any possible way of including a class file in the jsp page without involving a package.No, there isn't.
If not,then pls help me to generate the class file of my home interface within a package called test.Read the New To Java Tutorial and understand how packages work.

How to add a frame dynamically in a jsp page.

Hai all,
In my application, in a particular jsp page i had the 3 links namely add.edit and delete. When click on add button, it is pointing to another jsp page where i can enter user details. But what i want now is when i click add button, the form in which we fill the user details should be added to the current page itself dynamically i.e., it should not go to another page when i click add button and that form should be displayed in the current page in a new frame dynamically.
The same should happen when i click n edit or delete options. everything should be diaplayed in the same page in different frames.
Can anyone suggest me about how to add a frame dynamically.

You create a frameset with two frames. One frame you give 100% of the rows and run the JSP in this frame. The other frame you give 0% of the row so that it is hidden. In the JSP you use a JavaScript funtion to submit the form. This function will call the parent frameset to reset the row values to 50%/50% which will make the bottom frame visible and then submit the form request with the bottom frame as teh target.
It is not so much as creating frames as using JavaScript to hide and display frames.

How to show an xml content in a Jsp page?

I use <jsp:include page=".....xml" /> tag in a jsp file to include an xml file. When this jsp page is open, only the text content in the xml file shows up with plain text. I want this xml file shows up like in IE (with xml format). Does anyone know how to do it? Thanks.
northcloud

Thank you, BalusC & evnafets. Someone told me to use <c:import> to load the XML file into a scoped variable, and then use <c:out> to display it. The <c:out> will automatically convert the markup to HTML entities. I tried it, it works. It shows the content in the xml file as plain text (a long string). Any one give me some suggestion to make it looking better, for example, show each element in seperated lines. Thanks.
