JSP methods from javascript

is it possible to call a method -written within the jsp page- from a javascript. ie, i want to execute a method when an event occurs,,such as selecting an option from a list box.
pls help me

hi,
JSP is a server side.
javascript is a client side..
dont confuse to mingle,,,,,
if you want to trigger an event when >selecting an option from a list box.
try with javascript code itself
ex:
first.jsp
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function callme()
alert ( "[email protected]" );
</script>
</head>
<body>
<%
//add your jsp code where ever you want
%>
<input type="button" value="click" name="b" onClick="callme()">
</body>
</html>see in that above example is an jsp file which contains javascript and trigger some events....
if this is not your ?
please tell clearly
or post your code and describe in another way

How to call jpf controller method from javascript

Can any one help me how to call pageflow controller method from JavaScript.\
Thanks.

Accessing a particular pageflow method from Javascript is directly not possible unless we do some real funky coding in specifying document.myForm.action = xyz...Heres what I tried and it did not work as expected: I found another workaround that I will share with you.
1. In my jsp file when I click a button a call a JavaScript that calls the method that I want in pageflow like this: My method got invoked BUT when that method forwards the jsp, it lost the portal context. I saw my returned jsp only on the browser instead of seeing it inside the portlet on the page of a portal. I just see contents of jsp on full browser screen. I checked the url. This does make the sense. I do not see the url where I will have like test1.portal?_pageLabe=xxx&portlet details etc etc. So this bottom approach will notwork.
document.getElementById("batchForm").action = "/portlets/com/hid/iod/Batches/holdBatch"; // here if you give like test1.portal/pagelable value like complete url...it may work...but not suggested/recommended....
document.getElementById("batchForm").submit;
2. I achieved my requirement using a hidden variable inside my netui:form tag in the jsp. Say for example, I have 3 buttons and all of them should call their own action methods like create, update, delete on pageflow side. But I want these to be called through javascript say for example to do some validation. (I have diff usecase though). So I created a hidden field like ACTION_NAME. I have 3 javascript functions create(), update() etc. These javascripts are called onclick() for these buttons. In thse functions first I set unique value to this hiddent field appropriately. Then submit the form. Note that all 3 buttons now go to same common action in the JPF. The code is like this.
document.getElementById("ACTION_NAME").value = "UPDATE";
document.getElementById("batchForm").submit.
Inside the pageflow common method, I retriev this hidden field value and based on its value, I call one of the above 3 methods in pageflow. This works for me. There may be better solution.
3. Another usecase that I want to share and may be help others also. Most of the time very common usecase is, when we select a item in a drop bos or netui:select, we want to invoke the pageflow action. Say we have 2 dropdown boxes with States and Cities. Anytime States select box is changed, it should go back to server and get new list of Cities for that state. (We can get both states and cities and do all string tokenizer on jsp itself. But inreality as per business needs, we do have to go to server to get dynamic values. Here is the code snippet that I use and it works for all my select boxes onChange event.
This entire lines of code should do what we want.
<netui:anchor action="selectArticleChanged" formSubmit="true" tagId="selectPropertyAction"/>
<netui:select onChange="document.getElementById(lookupIdByTagId('selectPropertyAction',this )).onclick();" dataSource="pageFlow.selectedArticleId" >
<c:forEach items="${requestScope.ALL_ARTICLE}" var="eachArticle">
<%-- workshop:varType="com.hid.iod.forms.IoDProfileArticleRelForm" --%>
<netui:selectOption value="${eachArticle.articleIdAsString}">${eachArticle.articleItemName}</netui:selectOption>
</c:forEach>
</netui:select>
See if you can build along those above lines of code. Any other simpler approches are highly welcome.
Thanks

Invoking Applet methods from Javascript for Netscape 6

Hi,
I am trying to invoke an applet method from javascript, but it is failing with Netscape 6 browser:
I am doing it the following way-
function test(form)
var i = document.myapplet.getname();
where myapplet is the name of the applet and getname is a method within the applet. This is
working with Ie but not with netscape 6.
I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how should I invoke the applet method for netscape browsers.
Thanks.
Jay Srin.

Not working with NS 6 - and will not i guess till they upgrade to Mozilla Version 1.0 - Live Connect is not implemented 100% correct yet - if you want you can download the 7.0 Pre Release Netscape - since its using mozilla 1.0 it should work , see :

I need to call this method, assignValue() , from JavaScript.
Is there a way to call a Java method from JavaScript.

Yes I did, and I still don't get it, I have created a JSF web application, not an applet, as I posted earlier my code to executes sit's in a class file, not an applet file.
My Page1.class file is as follows
* Page1.java
package a1;
import ....
public class Page1 extends AbstractPageBean {
    public void valset(int val) {
}my jsp file "Page1.jsp" is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

                            style="left: 239px; top: 192px; position: absolute" text="Button"/>
</ui:form>
                </ui:body>
            </ui:html>
        </ui:page>
    </f:view>
</jsp:root>All I get is a grey box the size of the applet window. Could you please let me know what I'm doing wrong?

How to access the controller method from javascript onclick event?

Hi All,
I am totally new to development. And I got struck in calling a controller method from javascript function.
I have no idea about ajax and all those things. Please can anyone help me to solve this issue!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
As I know, you can use jQuery to do this, here is an example.
Example of your Controller Method.
[HttpPost] // can be HttpGet
public ActionResult Test(string id)
bool isValid = yourcheckmethod(); //.. check
var obj = new {
valid = isValid
return Json(obj);
and this would be your javascript function.
function checkValidId(checkId)
$.ajax({
url: 'controllerName/Test',
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json;',
data: JSON.stringify({ id: checkId }),
success: function (valid)
if(valid) { //show that id is valid }
else { //show that id is not valid }
If you have further issues, I would suggest you move to MVC forum, it is appropriate and more experts will assist you.

Call C# method from javascript in WebView and retrieve the return value

The issue I am facing is the following :
I want to call a C# method from the javascript in my WebView and get the result of this call in my javascript.
In an WPF Desktop application, it would not be an issue because a WebBrowser
(the equivalent of a webView) has a property ObjectForScripting to which we can assign a C# object containg the methods we want to call from the javascript.
In an Windows Store Application, it is slightly different because the WebView
only contains an event ScriptNotify to which we can subscribe like in the example below :
void MainPage_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
this.webView.ScriptNotify += webView_ScriptNotify;
When the event ScriptNotify is raised by calling window.external.notify(parameter), the method webView_ScriptNotify is called with the parameter sent by the javascript :
function CallCSharp() {
var returnValue;
window.external.notify(parameter);
return returnValue;
private async void webView_ScriptNotify(object sender, NotifyEventArgs e)
var parameter = e.Value;
var result = DoSomerthing(parameter);
The issue is that the javascript only raise the event and doesn't wait for a return value or even for the end of the execution of webView_ScriptNotify().
A solution to this issue would be call a javascript function from the webView_ScriptNotify() to store the return value in a variable in the javascript and retrieve it after.
private async void webView_ScriptNotify(object sender, NotifyEventArgs e)
var parameter = e.Value;
var result = ReturnResult();
await this.webView.InvokeScriptAsync("CSharpCallResult", new string[] { result });
var result;
function CallCSharp() {
window.external.notify(parameter);
return result;
function CSharpCallResult(parameter){
result = parameter;
However this does not work correctly because the call to the CSharpResult function from the C# happens after the javascript has finished to execute the CallCSharp function. Indeed the
window.external.notify does not wait for the C# to finish to execute.
Do you have any solution to solve this issue ? It is quite strange that in a Window Store App it is not possible to get the return value of a call to a C# method from the javascript whereas it is not an issue in a WPF application.

I am not very familiar with the completion pattern and I could not find many things about it on Google, what is the principle? Unfortunately your solution of splitting my JS function does not work in my case. In my example my CallCSharp
function is called by another function which provides the parameter and needs the return value to directly use it. This function which called
CallCSharp will always execute before an InvokeScriptAsync call a second function. Furthermore, the content of my WebView is used in a cross platforms context so actually my
CallCSharp function more look like the code below.
function CallCSharp() {
if (isAndroid()) {
//mechanism to call C# method from js in Android
//return the result of call to C# method
} else if (isWindowsStoreApp()) {
window.external.notify(parameter);
// should return the result of call to C# method
} else {
In android, the mechanism in the webView allows to return the value of the call to a C# method, in a WPF application also. But I can't figure why for a Windows Store App we don't have this possibility.

Calling jsp file from javascript function

How can i call a jsp file itself from javascript function written in it?

I do not think you can invoke the current jsp directly using javascript.
If the effect you are trying to achieve is to reload the page, then you could execute the servlet / code which called the current jsp.

That depends on the nature of your parameters. I guess you calculate the params on client and then want to submit them. In this case and if you don't want to use Ajax simple add some <input type="hidden"> elements (of course there correspondend components dependent of your framework) and store the params there. If the javascript isn't invoked by a button click, you can use a button nevertheless. Set visible="false" and call
document.getElementById('client_id_of_my_hidden_button').click();
(or maybe doClick() dependent on your framework).

Call to Applet Method from JavaScript Failed.

I Am calling a method from a javascript function from within a web page.
The page is loaded into a frame. The parent window of the frame has stored a reference to the applet which defines the methods. Note I am treating the reterence to the applet as a global variable. So that I can reference it methods as I navigate from one page to another.
I have JavaScript objects defined, and I am passing them as parameters to the applet's methods. In java, the JavaScript objects are refererenced as JSObject. When I call a java method passing a JavaScript
Object I get the following exception. Note Iam using j2sdk1.4.2_01 on a Windows 2000 Professional System. This problem start occurring after the recent Microsoft Worm/Virus a fix was loaded on my system which resulted in the following bug. Could someone please help me.

A little code snippet would help. I use JSObjects from Java 1.4 no problem and do have all the latest updates. I also have JavaScript calling Java code as well - also with no problem.

Problem calling Java method from JavaScript in JSP / ADF

Hi all,
In my JavaScript onMouseUp() function, I need to call a method on my Java backing bean. How is this done? Info on the web indicates a static Java method can be called by simply "package.class.staticMethod(...)". but when I put the statement
"jsf.backing.GlobalRetriever.createBasemap(affectedLayer);"
I get an error message "jsf is undefined".
The functionality I'm trying to get is: I have a custom slider control and based on its value, I want to call oracle map viewer specifying a map extent of the (current extent / slider value) to do a zoom in/out. In addition, the slider uses a onMouseMove() function to change the size of the image display so it looks like a dynamic zoom in/out.
Please assist or let me know if I can provide some additional information. Thanks in advance.
Jim Greetham

No. The Java and Javascript in a Faces application are really working in two different universes.
Java is running on the server. It generates HTML (and sometimes even Javascript) and sends that to the client machine. That's where all your backing beans are.
Javascript runs directly in the browser. There's no way anything on the server can have access to anything you define in Javascript, unless you explicitly send that information back to the server, either via standard form submission (which only works when someone presses a "Submit" button) or via an Ajax-type call. So otherwise, nothing you define in Javascript will ever be available to a backing bean.

HOW TO CALL A JSP METHOD FROM ANOTHER JSP

Hi all, I have to JSP1 and JSP2 and i would like to call a method of JS1 from JSP2. Is that possible ??
Example:
JSP2 Code
somewhere in the code ...
String s = JSP1.getName();
out.println("EL NOMBRE ES " +s );
thanks in advance for your help

No, it is not possible. Infact you cannot write your own methods in JSP. What ever you write in a jsp page is part of _jspService() method. Secondly how can you instantiate another class(generated by JSP), until or unless you know the name of the class that resulted from your JSP. Your JSP page is first converted into .java file which is stored in some package e.g.
pagecompile.jsp._yourJSPfile.
I couldnot understand why you need to invoke a method of another JSP in your JSP.
Hope this helps
