Html form with 2 pages

I have created a form with designer that has 2 pages.
In pdf, all works ok.
But when i render it to html, i only can display the first page.
How can i navigate between pages?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
If your rendering your form as HTML then you are probably using LiveCycle Forms. To navigate between pages you will have to create a IOutputContext object and assign it the value returned by the call to the EJBClient.processFormSubmission(...)in your servlet. You will then need to call the IOutputContext.getFSAction() method to determine what action was performed on the form. If the value returned by getFSAction() is 3 then the output of the processFormsubmission method is the Next page in the form. If the value is 4 then the output is the previous page in the form. If getFSAction returns either 3 or 4 then you can write just the data returned by the call to IOutputContext.getOutputContent() back to the web browser.

Submiting HTML Forms with JavaFX Webview

I've long been searching for a good web robot framework. And I also need a gui for my robot.
So w/ the advent of JAVAFX Webengine it seemed my needs have been met finally. Specially because on the webview tutorial here , Alla Redko says: "+It supports user interaction such as navigating links *and submitting HTML forms*+".
But after looking at the api it doesn't seem that webengine supports submiting forms, only loading pages w/ the load() method. I guess I could populate the form fields and submit them w/ executeScript() but that's just sloppy.
Is there a way to actually submit forms w/ webengine? Are there plans to implement this feature, analogous to the load() method?
Thanks,
JC

Yea, as I mentioned in the first post, I could do all that w/ JS but it's just sloppy, since I'm using Java language, not JS.
The finding certain fields part is easy w/ the Document model and xpath, it's the populating the fields and submiting the form along w/ its hidden input fields that is the missing part.
Does anyone know if these things are planned for the future of Webview/Webengine?You can already do this in Java today using the existing APIs if you so wished.

}Personally, I think using JavaScript via engine.executeScript calls in combination with jquery might be a less messy solution (as I don't like writing against the raw dom apis), but I understand that there are valid reasons why you might prefer to use a Java only solution.

How can i fill selection box on html form with data on the clientside?

hi
i want to make a html form that reads option values from the client.
Because there are too many data, it's not reasonable for me to design a page which connects to server each time to fill the selection boxes.Instead i want to check if data resides at the clientside, if so fill selection boxes with that data, if not download it for the first time and store it on the client for later local retrieval.In addition i must be able to update that data residing on the client when i want.

Don't see where Java comes into this. Sounds like you'd be using JavaScript on the client.
A cookie would probably be the only way to save data on the client.

Populating a html form with fields from a database

Ok, basically ive got fields in a db, for example:
name
decription
time
weather
mood
Ive got a html form that also has these fields.
When the user clicks a button the homepage of the site, it should bring up a form in a popup window that has all the fields in based on the entries in the database - lets pretend there is only 1 entry in the database, so the form will be the same for every user.
Any ideas how i could do this?
BTW I'm using jsp and mysql as db.
Thx peeps

Hi,
Are all the fields from the same table? if so you can construct a class say Test.java with the follwing attributes.
<code>
public string m_strName=null;
get and set methods
</code>
You can repeat for all the fields in the DB. If you have primary key for the table you can set the ID of the class as the primary key. so in your JSP you get the class with ID (whichever you wish to) and use the class in the JSP like this
<code>
Test test = JDBCAccess.get("ID of the table");
<%=test.getName();%>
</code>
This is an example of OR(object relational mapping).
Hope this helps.
thanks

Submit a html:form with a link

Hey everyone I have a html:form which am I correctly submitting with html:submitt buttons. But I was told to submit with links and not buttons :S So I'm trying to do it. I'm trying to do it like this:
<html:form action="/UpdateDeleteColecao.do" method="post" focus="colecao">
      <table border="0" align="center">
          <tr><td width="50%"> Cole��o </td><td width="50%"><html:text property="colecao" value="${requestScope.col.colecao}" readonly="true"/></td></tr>
          <tr><td width="50%"> Descric�o </td><td width="50%"><html:text property="descricao" value="${requestScope.col.descricao}"/></td></tr>
          <tr>
             <td width="50%" align="center">
               <html:link action="/UpdateDeleteColecao.do"> <bean:message key="button.add"/> </html:link>
             </td>
             <td width="50%" align="center">
               <html:link action="/UpdateDeleteColecao.do"> <bean:message key="button.delete"/></html:link>
             </td>
          </tr>
       </table><br/>
    </html:form> It is not working. I get the following error:
java.lang.NullPointerException
auge.form.AddColecaoForm.validate(AddColecaoForm.java:39)It works perfectly with the html:submit buttons. My action is a LookupDispatchAction. Is there a way to do it? Oh, a second question. What if I wanted to put the submit links to this form in a second frame, would that be possible?
I wouldn't wanna use Javascript, because if it's disabled everything will fail terribly. SO, I wanna know if there's any other way.
Thanks

I cannot use the typical regular HTML "a href",
because I have to call a struts action.No... you said you have to submit the form with a link. A link is an "a href", it's exactly what <html:link> generates. But a link cannot be used for form submitting except by invoking Javascript to do it programatically.
Using an action in <html:link>, presuming that's really refering to an action and not just the href value, which is what I'm not really sure of. It's been a while since I've used Struts. So maybe the action is the href part, and you can put "javascript:void(0);" there?
But I'm absolutely positive about the HTML/Javascript aspect. Struts tags don't alter how HTML works. They just make generating some HTML content easier. But in this case, I'm not sure that's helpful because I never found a simple way to get the actual form name that the <html:form> creates.

Smart Form Error Page format 2 with orientation 1 unknown

JSP invoked method inside onclick property of html form

I have an html form with an action to itself. I'm using javabeans with jsp to hold a list of strings. I want to click a button on the html form and have it add to the list of strings. however, if I put onclick="<% mybean.addString("sample") %>" inside the button's tag, it executes the code every time I load the page, instead of only when the button is pressed. What do I have wrong here, and what's the code to fix it?

jobocop17 wrote:
What do I have wrong here, and You have misunderstood how web application works. Basically, server side code(jsp scriptlets, custom tags etc) get processed in server and the processed results are sent to client side where the client side code(eg: javascript) get executed. Following jsp code
<% mybean.addString("sample") %>is processed in server and the browser will only get its result which is what you have noticed and which is how it works.
what's the code to fix it?Use either clientside scripting or make a server call to get it done on serverside.

Validating HTML form generated by servlet

Hi, folks. I have a dynamic html form generated by a servlet class. Once user fills up the form and submits it, i have another servlet does the form validation. My question is how can i reload the generated html form with error messages when user's inputs failed validation?
I am not able to use JavaScript pop-up windows for doing validation cause the page will be displayed on PDA and cell phone as well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Could you combine the servlets.
I'm not sure but then you may be able to have the generator servlet in the doGet method and the validator in the doPost method. (don't quote me on this)
If you combine the servlets you have access to the original data (the form), that way if any validation errors occur you can repost the form with their entered data and an error message.

Submitting a form with an anchor tag

How could I do this? I'm using a self submitting html form with JSP. I want an anchor tag to send some parameters to update the content of the page.

Hi,
You can use query string to pass the parameter values to the page.
Ex:
firstname and secondname are the two parameter values which you can pass it to the page.
<ahref=http://website2.com/action?val1=' firstname' & val2='secondname'> Page2</a>
if you click on the 'Page2' then those values are pass to the corresponding page

HTML forms --- Why so complicated?

Creating a fully functional HTML form with MS Frontpage was a
very simple task. It took minutes to do by someone with no
programming knowledge. However, with Dreamweaver it's a nightmare
of a project unless you're a hardcore server-side programmer.
How can this be? How can something as simple and half-hearted
as MS Frontpage 2003 be better than Dreamweaver CS3? Why does Adobe
not add a fully functional form builder to Dreamweaver? This is a
critical feature for any HTML design program. To not have it is
just foolish.
Anyone know why Adobe has been so negligent on this matter?

How to submit a html form using java

hi friends,
i have a html form with some input fields, when ever a user submit the form the user information is stored in the database. is it possible to pass the user information in the url(url rewriting) and submit it by a java program so that the data will be stored in the database, as like as, user submit it manually.
for eg:
/*sample.html*/
<form action="store.jsp" method="post">
User Data:<input type="text" name="userdata">
<input type="submit">
</form>
in my java is it possible to store the record as below:
URL url=new URL("http://localhost:7001/webapp/store.jsp?userdata=AutomaticDatasave");
URLConnection con=url.openConnection();
int i=0;
while((i=con.getInputStream().read())!=-1)
System.out.print(i);/*it has to print the data that store.jsp is returned like information stored or error storing data(what ever)*/
}Edited by: rajaram on Oct 27, 2007 1:01 AM

hi Drclap,
Thanks for your reply, which is helpful to me....
tried what you said, what i did is modified the code like below
con.setDoOutput(true);
BufferedWriter br=new BufferedWriter(new InputStreamWriter(con.getOutputStream()));
String str="userdata=AutomateDataSave\n";
br.write(str,0,str.length());
br.flush()But
Iam Getting Internal Server Error
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL

Render html form & send forms's input values as params via HTTP POST

Hello,
I'm using appache commons http client to send HTTP post queries to a given url and receive HTTP response then process it.
one of the requirements of my Application is the following: one of these HTTP Post requests is supposed to return an HTML form with different html types (text filed, text area etc..) that i will need to display in my swing application. one important requirement is that i can't know in advance what the html form field types will be.. it depends on a given parameters that my application send as part of HTTP Post method (using apache http client).
I Longly searched for a simple solution to this problem . There are many solutions but each one has it's limitations :
1-i can render the html form inside a JEditorPane .but how can I collect the user entered data inside JEditorPane ? i'm not sure this swing component offers the capability to detect its html contents and more it will be difficult to know what are the values entered by user inside html form rendered by JEditorPane.
2-are there any Java Embedded browsers that offer some API to enable me detect the html form fields ,capture the data entered by user inside the html form ?
3-the solution i currently opted for is : parse html & convert html form to swing dialog. currently this solution i use works well but the cost of implementing it is high : it involves difficult parsing logic. this makes me worried .I'm not sure if i'm now using the right & easiest solution.
I need some advice on What is the simplest and clean solution to render a html form & yet be able to collect user entered inputs & send the user input values as params via java HTTP POST request ?

In my opinion, your actual solution is what you need to do. You're trying to "merge" two different kinds of view. Actually, the "easiest" way may be: if you have your data to display, you decide to show it on html or swing.Yes i believe that my current solution may be the unique one for my special requirements. when doing research about this problem i found a multitude of java libraries to convert xml to swing (ex: www.swixml.org) .However i was surprised there are no java libraries to convert HTML forms to swing dialogs -as far as i know-. this is a bit strange. The Limitation is that the developers of the server API are not Java guys and are reluctant to use an xml format that i can easily convert to swing . probably they have their own reasons as they might be using the HTML Response for some other server side work. So I was obliged to deal with an HTML stream that i need to display in my client application and process its data. in my opinion the only way to do this is by developing a HTML form to swing converter package. that's what i did now. i was only worried if i'm complicating things and if there are some easier solutions to this issue.
thanks

Html form - java applet

Hi friends
I have an html form with an editable textfield on it. Next to it is an Java Applet with an Button on it. If you klick the button, a Popup aperars where the textfield can be modified. There is also an OK Button on this Popup. If you klick the Button, I want that the value of my string will be plased into the html form.
If anyone knows how that works. Please help me.
thanks kendiman

Sweet, I was wondering how to do that.
So if one was to design a menu using java, the external Java Script can access the public variables within the applets?
So if we had
public class applet extends Applet {
   public int test;
   public applet() {
      test = 6;
}then the javascript command
document.applet.test
would return a 6?
Do I have this correctly?

Displaying images in HTML Forms inside Servlets

          Dear friends
          How are you?
          I am developing Servlets in WebGain Studio Pro V4.1 VisualCafe
          V4.1 to display dynamic HTML forms with embedded
          images (*.jpg and *.gif).
          Please see the following sample code -
          "<DIV ID=\"Logo\" STYLE=\"position:absolute; left: 4%; top: 4%;
          width: 25%; height: 12%; z-index:1; visibility:visible\">" +
          "<IMG SRC=\"FigLogo.gif\" WIDTH=\"100%\" HEIGHT=\"100%\">" +
          "</DIV>"
          Then I deploymed servlets to BEA WLS 6.0 by including Servlets
          in the Web.xml file. However, I do not see the images when
          viewed in IE5.0 browser.
          I appreciate all comments and suggestions.

          and they are displaying now in the servlets with HTML forms.
