Object passing to weblogic JSP tags

Hello everyone
 I was wondering if I can pass a java object to a weblogic jsp tag
 for example if I select a content object with id "newsItem"
 <cm:selectbyid contenthome="com.beasys.commerce.axiom.document.Document"
 contentid="<%= contentId %>"
 id="newsItem" />
 can I pass newsItem as a variable to the next tag
 i.e. instead of writing it
 <cm:printdoc id="newsItem" />
 I write it
 <cm:printdoc Id="<%= newsItem %>" />
 This results in an compiler error if the object is passed to Id that is
 waiting for a content instance, while if it is passed to contentid (as in
 the first
 script) then it works fine, as this is waiting for a string.
 Is it possible to pass an object to the "id" in the jsp script, and if not,
 is there a work around it that enables the content selection logic to be
 seperated from the display.
 Thank you
 May

Oh...i put quotes around the values and that fixed it.
 <%@ page language="java" session="false" %>

New JSP Tags in WLS 7

 Hi!
 Can someone summarize for me additional custom WebLogic JSP tags available in
 WLS 7, compared to WLS 6.1 or changes in functionality of existing custom WebLogic
 JSP tags from WLS 6.1 to WLS 7.
 Thanks,
 Rahul.


 I am afraid not. Becuase if you don't buy their product, they even don't let you use their classes of that product.
 I tried to use a class inside CommerceServer, but they asked for the license all the time.
 My suggestion is you can get some idea from that, but don't use it directly except you have their license.

Custom JSP Tags for Weblogic

Hi,
 I have several questions regarding this topic:
 1) Does Weblogic 5.1 supports Custom Tags ? If so, are there any known
 problems ?
 2) Does Weblogic come with any tag libraries (for loops, if, etc) and where
 can I get them ?
 3) Are there any tag libraries out there (JRun, for example) that have been
 successfully run on Weblogic ?
 Any help would be much appreciated.
 Thanks,
 Jamie


As there seems to be general interest, a link would probably be a great
 help.

F:invokeUrl jsp tag and child objects

Hey all,
Does anyone know if its possible to use the f:invokeUrl tag on a method in a child object? eg:
<f:invokeUrl var="myObject.myChildObject" methodName="myMethod" />
I've also tried:
<f:invokeUrl var="${myObject.myChildObject}" methodName="myMethod" />
with no luck. I've gotten the above to work using the f:invoke jsp tag.
What I'm trying to do is put my ajax type functions in the objects that make the most sense. If I can't get this to work, I'll need to make presentation objects with all my ajax functions, create an instance and put it into scope, which I rather not do.
Thanks,
Graham

Graham,
I can't say if it will work or not, because its a better practice to leave all logic outside of the jsp (and I really don't know!). Do the logic in an activity, then only use the jsp to display the values. Keeping the logic outside is a much easier way to keep track of the data, and also re-use if necessary.
Customarily, a 'view' object is created. FileStatusView for example, would be a BPM Object that contains all the values to be displayed in a JSP or presentation.
Hope thats helpful!

JSP Tag- Passing an array of string as an Attribute

Can I pass an array of String as an attribute to a JSP Tag? I read the specification but It does not say any thing about this.
Thanks in Advance.

I thought JSP tags had to deal strictly with string values?

Nested JSP tags not working in Weblogic 8.1/6.1

Hi,
 I have a custom JSP tag which are used to display buttons (like Submit, Cancel, Revert, Previous etc) on a web page.
 This custom tag has a structure like
 <gui:toolBar>
 <gui:toolTemplate>...</gui:toolTemplate>
 <gui:button>
 <gui:buttonImg>...</gui:buttonImg>
 <gui:buttonAlt>...</gui:buttonAlt>
 </gui:button>
 </gui:toolBar>
 The <gui:button> tag can be repeated depending on the number of buttons needed to be displayed. The body content of the <gui:button> nested tags are used to populate the values in the <gui:toolTemplate/>.
 The issue is that if I have repetitive <gui:button> tags(meaning if I want to have 2 or more buttons), the page does not get compiled in Weblogic (both 6.1 and 8.1).
 But the same works fine in Websphere 4.x and 5.1.
 There are no exceptions being thrown and hence no clue as to what is the issue.
 If I have only one <gui:button> then it works fine even in Weblogic.
 Note: A link on a similar problem(but no soluton mentioned) is
 http://forums.bea.com/bea/thread.jspa?forumID=2025&threadID=200074523&messageID=202373683&start=-1#202373683
 Please advice.
 Sriram.C.S

You're right, your situation is very similar to the situation the other poster describes. However, the main similarity is that neither of you have given us any information about what is going wrong. We can't read minds or read what's on your screen. We need to see specific error messages, stack traces, and specific code that shows what you are trying to do.
 However, it's likely that you're running into problems with the issues with "tag reuse" and "tag pooling". You should first read the JSP specification in the areas that talk about this issue, although this will probably leave you with more questions than you started with.
 I'm guessing that your "<gui:button>" element doesn't have any attributes. It's possible that WebLogic is reusing a single "<gui:button>" tag instance for each occurrence in your page. You may have to figure out how to turn off tag pooling in the JSP compiler, but I'm not sure how to do that.
 It's possible that Websphere doesn't give you an issue with this because perhaps they didn't bother with the tag pooling optimization (it is a good thing to have it available).

How do I pass a local variable as a parameter to a JSP Tag File?

I wrote a custom JSP tag file, and I want to pass a local variable to it through a parameter, like this:
<% Integer someValue = new Integer(-5); %>
<my:TestTag value="someValue"/>
This doesn't work though - the result is the string someValue. Trying to do this doesn't work either:
<% Integer someValue = new Integer(-5); %>
<my:TestTag value="someValue"/>
the value attribute ends up being null.
I know I can work arount by putting the local variable in the request attributes then using ${}, but that seems like a lot of unecessary work. Does anyone know I can just pass a local variable to the custom tag through the custom tags parameter list?

I'm far from beeing an expert, but this may be a clue (?)
Basically, the rule is: everything you want to be considerred as Java must be in a
JSP tag.
As an example, think of how you would do to pass the litteral string "someValue" otherwise. Then you may imagine other related issues...

Does weblogic server supports JSP tag pooling

          We use lot of Custom Tags in our app, we want improve the performance of JSP pages.
          Does Weblogic JSP engine supports JSP Tag Pooling similar to what JASPER (Tomcat
          JSP Engine) supports.
          If not, is there any way to plug-in my own Tag Pooling classes into JSP Engine.
          Thanks

JSP Tags and pooling.

We are researching JSP Tags as a method of seperating our creative and coding efforts. Our research is showing that JSP tags is a resource hog and noticed that none of the JSP Tags are being pooled. Docs that we have looked at suggest that pooling does occur, but we do not see it happening. Is anyone using this technology and if so how is the performance?


Cameron,
 In general, what kind of "interesting bugs" and "design flaws" do you mean?
 I would expect that using any kind of cache can allow for bugs due to developers
 confusion... but are there inherent "bugs" (or design flaws) that are built into
 WL's Cache tag?

List -- detail page problem (object passing)

I have a problem in making the following work:
I have an application with spring, hibernate and JSF and want to make a simple
list with an edit link in every line. The edit link gets you to a editDetails.jsp where you can change and save details. (Simplest CRUD - app)
My list looks something like this:
<h:dataTable id="table" value="#{consoleService.participants}" var="participant">
<h:column>
<h:outputText value="#{participant.lastName}" />
</h:column>
<h:column>
<h:commandLink action="editParticipant">
<h:outputText value="edit" />
<f:param name="participant" value="#{participant}" />
</h:commandLink>
</h:column>this works fine so far
In my details page I use
value="#{participant.id}"
value="#{participant.email}"and so on to acces the properties of the participant but the properties are empty
I desparately searched the the web for the last 4 hours and could not find the proper to pass objects to the next page. What is the recommended way? I have tried all different combinations without success
I have a list and want to see the details of a specific item on the next page?
Can this be done without any further java coding (I already have a consoleService.getParticipant method).
Can I pass a java object in a f:param tag?
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease help!

<h:dataTable id="table"
value="#{consoleService.participants}"
var="participant">
<h:column>
<h:outputText value="#{participant.lastName}" />
</h:column>
<h:column>
<h:commandLink action="editParticipant">
<h:outputText value="edit" />
<f:param name="participant" value="#{participant}"
}" />
</h:commandLink>
</h:column>You cannot pass an Custom Object as a parameter.
<f:param name="participant" value="#{participant}" is not possible. Instead, pass "id" or any other key as param and access the data from the from the DataBase or whereever with the param passed.

Assiginment to varaibles from jsp tags

is it possible and how is it possible to assign something from jsp tag to an variable declared in scriptlet code - ie. - as below.
also is there a good resource for jsp info - a comprehensive lookup on jsp syntax egs on the web that any one is aware of. - thanks.
i 'm doing - can i use this variable as in below scrpitlet code :
<%! List myAbridgments = new ArrayList(); %>
then - Also at this stage it get a ClassCastException - why would i get that here i dont use this variable - results anywhere else - except in setting the session attribute in the original servlet that calls this jsp page
<jsp:useBean id="results" class="com.bt.ros.Results" scope="session">
<jsp:setProperty name="results" property="*"/>
</jsp:useBean>
the in some scrpitlet code doing:
<% myAbridgments = results.getAbridgments();
for (int i = 0; i < myAbridgments.size(); i++) {
 abridgment = (Abridgment) myAbridgments.get(i);
 //out.println(abridgment.geta_volume_id());
%>
<input type="checkbox" name="list" value="ON"><jsp:getProperty name="abridgment" property="a_sub_year_volume"/>,
 <a href="abridgment_link.htm"><jsp:getProperty name="abridgment" property="a_volume_id"/></a>, 

yeah, but this doesn't really help me. I am trying (really hard!) to ensure my JSP's don't really contain any "code" as such, just JSP tags.
The end result I want is to include one JSP in another. Now, I "could" just use a <jsp:include.., the problem is that the path to the file I want to include is tied up in an object which I have previously placed in the ServletRequest object. Again, I "could" extract this in the "parent" jsp, and pass it dynamically to the jsp:include, but I don't want any actual Java "code" in the JSP. (There IS a good reason for this, so I can't really comprimise).
The fact that the IS a pageContext.include() method tells me that I can use it. I must be doing something wrong though.
Thanks anyway.

Hot deploying jsp tags

Hi does anybody out there no how to hot -deploy non ejb classes .Like jsp

Problems in developing custom JSP tags

I have problems in debugging custom JSP tags. Sometimes the doStartTag is not called on tags but the doEndTag is called. I don't know why.
Thanks.

Fahr--
A word of caution -- NetUI did not ship a JSP tag SDK in 8.x, and
we're making no compatibility guarantees for custom JSP tags written on
the 8.x release and future releases.
You can accomplish the same sort of functionality with a combination
of the <netui-data:getData> tag and JSTL 1.0. This solution would
probably provide similar functionality and be more future-proof relative
to JSTL and the NetUI tags currently being developed in Beehive.
Hope that helps.

In an example where you would need to compare two different datasources how would you do this?
ie.
<prefix:isGreater dataSource="{pageflow.column1}" dataSourceToCompare="{pageFlow.column2}" />
How would I evaluate what column2 is since the tag will only resolve one data source
this.evaluateDataSource();
Any pointers you can provide would be appreciated, or if there is a library of jsp tags that evaluate objects using datasources already created, that would even be better.
