How to get the user entered data?

Hi all,
I have created an HTMLB DynPage component.
In That i have created my input screen with textboxes using response.write method.
i have added one onConfirm event on which the data whould validate.
so onConfirm method im trying to get the data with request.getParameter method which returns null...
how to do...how to get the user entered data to do my validations...can anyone plz advice.
Thanks,
Viswes

Hi
inputfield or textbox component entered directly using response.write(...) are not htmlb , but html.
to create portal input field (ie HTMLB), you should do something like
this in the doProcessBeforeOutput member function
InputField field1 = new InputField("Id1");
field1.setSize(8); // 8 characters
this.getForm().addComponent(field1);
and in doProcessAfterInput member function
InputField field1 =
(InputField) this.getComponentByName("Id1");
you can then manipulate the content of the field.
Hope this help,
Guillaume

once i get the data into a plsql table, how to get this plsql table data into the cursor?There is no such thing as a PL/SQL table - it is an array.
It is nothing at all like a table. It cannot be indexed, partitioned, cluster, etc. It does not exist in the SQL engine as an object that can be referenced. It resides in expensive PGA memory and needs to be copied (lock, stock and barrel) to the SQL engine as a bind variable.
It is an extremely primitive structure - and should never be confused as being just like a table.
Its use in SQL statements is also an exception to the rule. Sound and valid technical reasons need to justify why one want to push a PL/SQL array to the SQL engine to run SELECT 's against it.

How to get current time and date??

How to get current time and date from my PC time and date to the java application??
i use java.util.* package but got error, that is:
- java.util.* and java.sql.* class are match
- abstract class cannot be instantiated
so what can i do, pls guide...thanks...

There is a method in the System class that will return the current system time. You could also instantiate a Date, Time, Timestamp, or Calendar object, all of which get created with the system time by default.
Don't import *. Import the specific classes you need.
Next time, post the actual text of the exceptions/compile errors. If you make people guess, most just won't bother.

Ok,
try this:
com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IGroupFactory ep5GroupFactory = userManagementService.getGroupFactory();
IGroupFactory groupFactory = UMFactory.getGroupFactory();
com.sap.security.api.IGroup group = groupFactory.getGroupByUniqueName(groupName);
IUMPrincipal ep5Principal = ep5GroupFactory.getEP5Group(group);
This should do the trick,

Could you please let me know how to get an email when data got inserted into table by using sql/plsql
Well that seems pretty straightforward - write some pl/sql to send you an email when that pl/sql inserts data into a table.
See this Oracle-base article for an example of sending mail.

Post what you have tried so far. What part of what you have tried doesn't seem to be working?
