Passing data from JSP to Action w/o form bean

I would like to invoke an action using the content of a table cell displayed on
a JSP as the action parameter. For example, assume the JSP has a table displaying
the data attributes for an Employee (i.e. name, age, salary, department, etc.).
I would like clicking the data vale for an attribute to display more detailed
information about that attribute. So if I click on department, it would invoke
a getDepartmentDetails action that would get the attributes for that department
and display them on second JSP. The department attribute on the first JSP would
be an HTML anchor. Since the getDepartmentDetails action would not have a form
bean, how could I pass it the department id? I've heard that SP2 will support
something called page inputs. Will this resolve this problem? Thanks.

I have a table listing companies...I had a link over the company code to call an
action selectCompany so that it would display a company info page.
I did this...
<td><netui:anchor action="selectCompany"><netui:parameter name="companyId" value="{container.item.companyId}"></netui:parameter><netui:label
value="{container.item.companyCd}"></netui:label></netui:anchor></td>
when I highlighted over the html link it would show
http://localhost:7001/Admin/financialInstitution/selectCompany.do?companyId=27
in my selectCompany action...to retrieve the parms, i did this...
String compId = this.getRequest().getParameter("companyId");
int iCompId = 0;
// A company object is loaded based on the companyId parameter.
try {
iCompId = Integer.parseInt( compId );
} catch (Exception exc) {
hope that helps,

Passing data from JSP to existing iView in Portal

Hello Experts,
I'm new to EP and Web DynPro. Please provide your guidance for the following scenario:
There are 2 iViews in different pages.
iView 1(Web DynPro Java application) - its running in portal
- created by other person long time back - it takes input from user to create a support message
iView 2(JSP page)
- since iView 1 is very generic, I have to create one more iView, which is simple & specific to user request, but should pass the data to the iView 1, which in turn will create a support message.
My Question:
Is it possible to pass data from my JSP page(in iView2) to the running application in iView1?
(I don't have access to the code of the running application- so i can't use Client Data Bag or sessions)
If the above condition is possible, then is it possible to hide the iView 1, so that user doesn't need to see the iView 1 when they submit data?
Please guide me with sample code or links.
Thanks in advance,
Aruna Thamilmani

Passing value from JSP to Action in Struts

Hi,
I am populating JSP page with rows retrieved from the database and
represented as a List of Beans in forEach loop:
<c:forEach var="list" items="${OperationsForm.OperationsList}">
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${list.isCompleted =='Y'}" >
<td width="100">Completed</td>
<td width="100"> </td>
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<td width="100">Pending</td>
<td width="100"><input type="image" onclick="
rowId=value; form.action='action.do?command=notify'"
value="${list.OperationId}" />
</td>
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
Have hidden field: html:hidden property="rowId" value="-1"/>
User is clicking the button corresponding to one of the rows
and I need to pass the value of that rowId to the Action class, so it does
something in the database [action completed]
Now how do I pass it , is that the right way of doing it with calling
request.getSession().getAttribute(rowId) in the Action class ?
As of now I am getting Javascript error "Object doesn't support this
property or method", complaining about rowId=value;
Using Struts 1.3
Please help !
TIA,
Oleg.

So what you are saying is that I should add rowId here:
<input type="image" onclick="form.action='action.do?command=notify&rowId='
${list.OperationId}"/> , correct ?
I am not sure that it will work, especially with Struts tag.
I will probably try something like:
<html:submit onclick="form.action='action.do?command=notify'" value="${list.OperationId}">
I am relatively new to Struts, so now sure what will work or not and how to do it better. How do I catch the submitted value in the Action in either of these 2 cases, via action.getSession().getProperty("rowId") /
action.getSession().getProperty("submit") ?
I would probably do it as a URL rather than changing the action of the form.I will have to create a new action anyway to process that row [which is sending user e-mail regarding that row data/event].
Is the id the only thing you have to pass in?
Or do you need other values from the screen?Selected rowId is probably the only thing I care about, can access values from the Form in Action.
Thank you,
Oleg.

Passing data from jsp/servlet to a Tuxedo Service thru VIEW

Hi..
We are using Tuxedo10g R3 on AIX 5.3..
We have a Tuxedo Service running which takes values from the VIEW and converts that to upper case.. From the jsp page v r passing values to the VIEW fields which will be accepted by the service..
For testing v checked the service with a tuxedo client and it is working fine..
We have defined a jolt repository file for this service and finished bulkloading and coded the servlet also.. After passing the datas from the jsp, the Tuxedo service is called and it is ended.. but in the service only blank values are passed or the datas are not passed to VIEW fields.. It is not showing any error..
The repository file for this service:
service=NSIMPSRV
export=true
inbuf=VIEW
inview=sample
outbuf=STRING
param=FIRSTSTR
type=string
access=in
param=SECONDSTR
type=string

type=string
access=in
param=S-FIRST
type=string
access=out
param=S-SECOND
type=string
access=out
param=S-THIRD
type=string
access=out
and the servlet code for this service:
Result result1;
ServletSessionPool servletsession = (ServletSessionPool) joltsession.getSessionPool("demojoltpool");
ServletDataSet joltdataset = new ServletDataSet();
joltdataset.setValue("FIRSTSTR","Testing");
joltdataset.setValue("SECONDSTR","Tuxedo");
joltdataset.setValue("THIRDSTR","Views");
result1 = servletsession.call("NSIMPSRV", joltdataset, null);
System.out.println("FIRSTSTR:"+result1.getValue("S-FIRST",""));
System.out.println("SECONDSTR:"+result1.getValue("S-SECOND",""));
System.out.println("THIRDSTR:"+result1.getValue("S-THIRD",""));
we are not sure why the datas have not been passed.. do anyone have any idea regarding this??
Thanks..

Passing data from JSP to Oracle Reports

Hi,
We have a requirement to query and display data in JSP pages and when clicked on 'Report' button of the JSP, an Oracle report should be called.
The data which is queried in JSP should be passed to the Oracle report. Is there any way of doing it? This is to avoid re-querying the database again from Oracle Reports.
Environment: jdk1.3, Oracle Application Server 9i, Oracle 9i, Report 6i
Thanks in Advance,

Pass data to JSP from HTML?

I can pass the data in a HTML form without problem if the form is in the same jsp file. I have no problem to pass data from one jsp file to another one. But when the jsp file has to take the data passed from calling HTML file and has to receive the data from the same jsp file, then the data from other HTML file will be null the first time runing the code, then second time will be passed right. If I shut down computer run the code again, same problem until the second time. Please tell me why if any of you know!

yes. The first part is HTML file which use the form to pass v_progname, the second part is a jsp file, it suppose to get the data in v_prgname, but the first time to run this code always get null, then the second time get the right data?

Problem in passing data from one .jsp page to another .jsp page

i have a problem here
Actually i have 2 jsp pages. What im trying to do here is actually i want to pass data from the first jsp page to the second for updating
The first jsp page contains data that user wants to update in the form of table.
<td><img src = "edit.gif" alt = "edit" border="0" ><td>
<TD><%= Name %></td>
<TD><%= rs.getInt("Age") %></td>
<TD><%= rs.getString("Gender") %></td>
So this page displays the data that users wants to update plus one image button (edit button). So when user clicks this button, all the data in this page will be brought to the second .jsp page called updatePersonal for updating.
The problem here is that it is not displaying the existing data in the second .jsp page.
The second page basically contains forms
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="FirstName" maxlength="30" value = "<%=FirstName%>">
Can someone please help me. I really dont know what to do..How do i get the data displayed in the text field that is passed from the first .jsp page..thankx in advance

Please modify below code to:
td><img src = "edit.gif" alt = "edit" border="0" ><td>
-----------------modified code
td><a href="updatePersonal.jsp?FirstName=<%=rs.getString(FirstName")%">&LastName=<%=rs.getString("LastName")%>&Age=<%=rs.getInt("Age")%>&Gender=<%=rs.getString("Gender")%>"><img src = "edit.gif" alt = "edit" border="0" ></a><td>
I'm sure it works</a>

Pass data from servlet to jsp using sendRedirect

Hi,
I am passing data from servlet to jsp using forward method of request dispatcher but as it doesn't change the url it is creating problems. When ever user refreshes the screen(browser refresh) it's re-loading both servlet and jsp, which i don't want to happen. I want only the jsp to be reloaded.
Can I pass data from servlet to jsp using sendRedirect in this case. I also want to pass some values from servlet to jsp but without using query string. I want to set some attributes and send to jsp just like we do for forward method of request dispatcher.
Is there any way i can send data using attributes(without using query string) using sendRedirect? Please let me know

sendRedirect is meant as a true redirect. meaning
you can use it to redirect to urls not in your
context....with forward you couldn't pass information
to jsps/servlets outside your own context.Actually, you can:
getServletContext().getContext("/other").getRequestDispatcher("/path/to/servlet").forward(request, response)I think the issue here is that the OP would like to have RequestDispatcher.forward() also update the address in the client's browser. That's not possible, AFAIK. By the time the request is forwarded, the browser has already determined the URL of the servlet, and the only I know of way to have the browser change the URL to the forwarded Servlet/JSP is to send a Location: header (i.e. sendRedirect()). Remember that server-side dispatching is transparent to the client. Maybe there's some tricky stuff you can do with JavaScript to change the address in the address bar without reloading the page?

If you choose the second alternative you should erase these global variables after the second form is opened
You can erase the global variable using:
erase('global_var')

How can I pass data from a form guide to another form in a business process

How do we pass data from a form guide to another form(not necessarily a guide) without having to open the form. For example we have a small form guide to capture the contract id so we can then get data from contracts table to present to the user in a form. We want the user to open the guide (either Flex guide or form guide) to enter the contract id. Upon submission we want the process to get the contract data and put it into the form that will be opened at the next step by the user without having a user interact with the form to get the data into it. In other words we need the process to get the data and populate a different form than the form guide the contract id was entered in and this new form needs to be opened in the next step by the user.

Firstly, I'm assuming that you have a Forms ES Server if you are rendering a Guide. This could be either version ES1, ES2/2.5 or ES3/ADEP
If you submit the form back to the server, you can populate a second (PDF/XDP) form with the data bound to the same schema/Data Model using Forms ES.
You referred to the next user in the chain - If you are using Process Management, this is very easy, as you define what form is used to render the data in the "Presentation & Data" section of the Assign Task activity

Certainly it is unusual that you can still see the tables available in your MS Access database but cannot see the columns? I am assuming you are configuring an Open Statement step and are trying to use the ring-control to select columns from your table?
Can you tell me more about the changes you made to your file when you 'changed' it with MS Access? What version of Access are you using? What happens if you try and manually type in an 'Open Statement Dialog's SQL string such as...
"SELECT UUT_RESULT.TEST_SOCKET_INDEX, UUT_RESULT.UUT_STATUS, UUT_RESULT.START_DATE_TIME FROM UUT_RESULT"
Is it able to find the columns even if it can't display them? I am worried that maybe you are using a version of MS Access that is too new for the version of TestSt
and you are running. Has anything else changed aside from the file you are editing?

Passing data from a panel to a frame / disposing of a frame from in a panel

Hello, I have recently created a program where all windows are made of seperate frames, now, to make the whole thing a bit more appealing and professional looking, i'd like to make 1 main frame, and load my content panels into this 1 frame. Problem i'm having with this is passing data from the loaded in panel to the main frame, so the main frame can hide one panel to load another with data inserted in the first panel. OR another solution to my problem would be a way to dispose of a frame, but from within the seperate panel class. I have searched the www for a solution, but haven't found one so far, so, any suggestions or references to some info about this kind of issue? Any pointer is greatly appreciated

EDIT: I took a look at the cardlayout, and, although i see its relevance to my question, it still leaves me with the question how exactly i will pass data the user inputs into the first panel, to the second panel. The second panel is built by the info which is provided in the first panel.Stop thinking of them as Panels and start thinking of them as OOP objects that have data that must be shared. It's often a matter of using getters and setters and sometimes requiring a sprinkling of the Observer design pattern.

correct. If the data is correct i want that frame to
close and pass the data back to main frame. How can
i do that.
thank you
the original problem sounded like an ideal opportunity to use Modal Dialog. if you want one frame to display another to get user input then you need to stop the method in the main frame from executing until you recieve a valid input.
you can use your own class and keep all of the components that you have in the connect frame but you would have to extend JDialog instead of JFrame.
there is a way around it!
if you must use JFrame for both, then you need to have access to the main frame in the connect frame, maybe pass the pointer to the constructor??
anyway, when the connect frame is done with its duties, you have to use the pointer to call another method in the main frame that will continue the process. otherwise main frame doesn't know when connect frame is done and by that time, the method in main frame that instantiated the connect frame has long since died.
also, it allows things to happen in the other window that you may not want to happen until the connect frame is done
typically users of software start clicking around on things and you could have three or four connect frames going at the same time
it's really best to use a Modal Dialog, it really can look just like a JFrame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Passing data from a container to another

Hi,
Let's say I have two containers (Container1=application , Container2). Container1 gets some data from user, perform some database lookup and displays Container2 with the results from database lookup.
Container1 --(call and display)--> Container2
Below shows how I am using a bindable variable in Container1 to pass the data from Container1 to Container2. Also shows how I display Container2 from Container1.

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
   [Bindable] public var foo:String = "bar";
   private function loginHandler(event:LoginEvent):void
      mycontainer2 = new Container2();
      mycontainer2.name = "mycontainer2";
      this.addChild(mycontainer2);
</mx:Application>
I am accessing the data in Container2 as follow:

{mx.core.Application.application.foo}
Q1) Is there a better way to pass data from one container to another and access the data?
Q2) Is this the only way to call and display Container2 from Container1?
Q3) How can I move back to Container1 from Container2, i.e. Container2 call and display Container1
       Container2 --(back to)--> Container1

Best practices call for using custom events to share data between components. Here is my Flex 3 Cookbook post on the topic:

To switch easily between containers 1 & 2 use a ViewStack, the gold standard for such interaction, and manipulate the selectedIndex or selectedChild property:
