How to call script in jsp

How to call script in jsp
3A-_@. Feb 8, 2007 3:08 AM
Hi,
I have abc.jsp file where i want to call javascript on pressing submit button.
<input type="text" name="UserName" value="" width="30" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" onclick=" <what should i write here??">
here how to call script?
and in the same abc.jsp file i have javascript ( i am not sure about the way i m accessing text value inside javascript is right or not)
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript" >
here how can i access UserName field value here??
if(isThisNotNull(UserName))
alert("UserName Is Mandatory");
</SCRIPT>

If you do it like Greeks says then the javascript variable will be set when the page loads (userName probably blank). You will want the current value from the input field so use getElementById().

oops, just noticed Greeks posted both replies... so what I should have said is use his first suggestion as the second is not what you want.

  • Urgent: how to call servlet from JSP

    I have a working servlet which returns a table in html format. I also updated the web.xml file according to the information I got from the previous message. My problem is how to correctly invoke the servlet in the JSF. I tried the following ways:
    <jsp:include page="/report">
    <jsparams>
    <jsparam name="srcDev" value="#{Page1.srcDevice}"/>
    <jsparam name="tgtDev" value="#{Page1.tarDevice}"/>
    <jsparam name="format" value="complete"/>
    </jsparams>
    </jsp:include>
    and
    <frame src="/report?param1=val1&param2=val2" name="body" frameborder="YES" scrolling="YES" bordercolor="#999999" noresize>
    both doesn't work.I am able to run the servlet within a html form. I just don't know what's the right syntax for calling the servlet inside a JSP page in JSF.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks,
    Christine

    Hi Christine,
    This forum is exclusively for Sun Java Studio Creator related issues.
    In case you are using Creator then you can find a sample application named RedirectionExample which makes use of a servlet and would be of help to you. You can find the tutorial on the following page:

  • How to call reports from JSP/HTML application

    Hi,
    We have a web application developed in JSP, I'd like to use Oracle Reports writer to generate reports (Since our back office application is developed using Oracle forms and Reports - 6i).
    I don't know how to place a request to Oracle Reports server and view the output. Can someone please help me with this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Karthik

    Hello Karthik,
    You have a web application developed in JSP. In that you are calling Reports though URL through your JSP.
    User views the source of the HTML page, in browser which is the result of execution of JSP. So Client will see the
    HTML output, but not the real JSP.
    Still if you donot want to hard code the user/password in file, have a form and ask client to enter user/password.
    Or you can combine your JSP with other Java components , like Java bean or Servlets to get user/password at run time.
    With Regards

    Which application server you are using.
    I am using JRUN SERVER.
    For me it is very easy
    I have to put my servlet in web-inf/classes/xx.class.
    Then i can run like
    http://localhost/xx.
    Let me know which server u are using.

  • How to call procedure in jsp

    Hello all,
    im creating a PDK portlet using Jdev.
    can the portlet call the procedure contains in portal schema?
    can you give me the best notes of dynamic portlet.
    I'm a new one in jsp..

    You would call a stored proc from a JSP just like you'd do it anywhere else using JDBC. The only problem is that this would be a very bad practice as combining your view with your business logic is a flawed architecture.

  • How to call Script either java or VB in SDK???

    Hi,
    Im in need to call either java script or vb script from my plugin..
    This can be made using either illustrator 10 SDK(VC++) or illustrator cs2 SDK..
    I found ASScripting.h in illustrator 10 SDK.. But it doesn't give me output though it compile successfully.
    Please some one provide me the syntax for either calling java or VB script..
    The code i used for calling javascript is

    AIErr err;
    const char * result = NULL;
    err = sScriptingSuite->CreateJavaScriptEngine( &jsEngineRef );
    if ( err == kSPNoError )

    // If error during execution, display a dialog containing returned error information string.
    ErrorAlert( result );
    err = sScriptingSuite->DeleteJavaScriptEngine( jsEngineRef );

  • How to call BOMUIPrimaryPage using configurator extension

    Hi
    I am new to the configurator. I am working on the following requirement.
    From the Standard guided sales ui ( OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/cz/runtime/oa/webui/pages/CZMainPage) we have to call the (OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/cz/runtime/oa/webui/pages/BOMUIPrimaryPage) when user will click a custom button.
    I have created the custom button using configurator extension which is using the java class.
    Issue - I need to know how to call the OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/cz/runtime/oa/webui/pages/BOMUIPrimaryPage page from the java class.
    If any one is having sample code please pass it to me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Kausik

    The basics are to have your Server listen to port 21.
    You would then have to parse the request information to determine what is being asked for and generate an appropriate response.
