Passing values from a jsp to a servlet

I have a jsp which has a search form for customers, first it lets you search by colour, giving options of red, white or all, then gives three options of what price. Im trying to get my servlet to read these choices, and display the results. I have a statement in my serlvet which says:
String price = request.getParameter("search preference colour");
and the statment in the JSP is:
<select name="search preference colour">
<option value="Red">red</option>
<option value="White">White</option>
<option value="All">All</option>
</select>
I need to know how to define which option has been chosen, and have the chosen results displayed. I tried an 'if' statement but it didnt seem to work. Thanks

i have a servlet from which i am passing result set values to a jsp page.Basically they are database records from a table named basic.
and these selective fields have to be dissplayed on jsp.i have tried incorporating values into session variables and using them on jsp.it works fine for single record but when there are multiple results it fails!! :(Learn JSTL and use tags. Scriptlet code in JSPs is a bad idea.

  • Passing values from a JSP to Action class

    Hi,
    I have one JSP in this I have two select boxes.
    The first select box is populated with default values.
    From the first select box I am selecting the value and moving to the other select box using java script.
    Now the value in the second select box has to be submitted alongwith some other values which I am getting.
    These values are to be submitted to a Action class and further to the form bean using struts.
    In the form tag in JSP I am calling the struts action class.
    The issue here is,I am able to get other values except the values in the second select box.
    I am using simple JSP page to get form values and submitting.
    I am not using struts tlds because of project constraints.
    Please advise on how to pass these values.
    Regards,
    Ram

    If the value from the select box isn't submitted, then it's not inside the form. Check the HTML output of your JSP to debug this problem.

  • Passing value from JSP to scriptlet

    Hi
    I am trying to find a way to pass a value from jsp to the scriptlets, i.e.
    <c:set var="testValue" value="123" />
    <%
    System.out.println(testValue);
    %>
    the above code just demonstrates what I was trying to achieve, by passing the value from the jsp into the scriptlet.
    Can someone tell me if there's an easy way to do this?
    Thank you.

    Note, using scriptlet code on your page is generally something to be avoided. 99% of what you should be doing on a JSP page can be done with EL/JSTL. If you can't do it with EL/JSTL then it probably belongs in a servlet/bean.
    I always aim for 100% scriptlet free jsp pages.
    Having said that, I can still answer your question: EL attributes are stored in the scope - page, request, session, application
    ${testValue} is equivalent to pageContext.findAttribute("testValue").
    The <c:set> tag example doesn't specify a scope, so therefore you could get it like this:
    <c:set var="testValue" value="123" />
    <%
    String testValue = (String)pageContext.getAttribute("testValue");
    System.out.println(testValue);
    %>alternatively exploit the feature of the useBean tag that creates a scriptlet variable:
    <c:set var="testValue" value="123" />
    <jsp:useBean id="testValue" type="java.lang.String"/>
    <%
    System.out.println(testValue);
    %>Note that the EL variable and the Scriptlet variable are initially pointing at the same String.
    But changing the string in scriptlet code will change the value it is pointing at, while leaving the EL variable untouched.
    If you have a List in scope, and sharing it between EL and scriptlet variables then any changes to the list would be reflected because they both point at the same List object.

  • How to Pass values from XML to JSP??? Urgent Please Help me

    Hi guys,

    Looking for ur favourable reply.
    Thanks in advance,

    in a servlet :
    parse your xml file (see how at the end of the post) and
    put the values you want in the request attributes
    request.setAttribute("value1", value1);
    ...redirect to the jsp
    in the JSP:
    get the wanted attributes:
    String value1=(String)request.getAttribute("value1");To learn how to parse a xml file, pay a look at this page, it explains how to read the XML document to build an object representation, and then how to navigate through this object to get the data

  • Passing variable from one JSP to another

    Hi....
    I am working on customizing Oracle Application(istore).
    I need to pass variable from 1 JSP to another.
    JSP 1 contains the following line of code:
    <INPUT type="HIDDEN" name="soldtoCustPartyName" value="<%=soldtoCustPartyName%>">
    How can I pass this to another JSP Page. The other JSP should take the 'soldtoCustPartyName' and find out the primary address country.
    So please help me in getting variable passed from 1st JSP to next.
    By default, 1st JSP is not fwded to 2nd JSP.
    This is very very urgent...Please help.....

    When you push the submit button on jsp1 - it goes to jsp2?
    ie
    // in jsp1.jsp
    <form action="jsp2.jsp">
    <INPUT type="HIDDEN" name="soldtoCustPartyName" value="<%=soldtoCustPartyName%>">
    <input type="submit">
    </form>
    //Then in jsp2.jsp all you need is
    request.getParameter("soldtoCustPartyName");This will pick up the value that is coming from the hidden field on jsp1

  • Passing values from a FORM to another FORM

    Hi,
    I have to pass values from FORM "A" to FORM "B". What is the best way to do this?\
    Can I use a GLOBAL variable?
    Thanks,
    Marc.

    I think he meant the global namespace.
    You set a :global_your_name_here to a value and that value is available in your entire application. See the help file section on the global namespace for more information.
    Forms parameters are parameters that you form picks up from the outside when it starts. The calling entity must supply them in the URL or they will be set to null. You set them up in the object navigator in the Parameters node.

  • Passing Value from Crystal Report (special function) to Business View parameter

    Friends,
                 Í have a scenario where i need to pass value from Crystal Report to a Business view's parameter.
    Eg : CurrentCEUsername (func in crystal report)-- gives login user  which i should pass to parameter in a Business view (used in the same report).
    Will be able to explain more if required.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Bharath

    I guess you got the picture wrong.  User_id is not a report_level parameter .
    In Data Foundation, below query is used..
    select Acc_Number, Account_Group,User_id  from Accounts where user_id={?User_id}
    where in {?User_id}  is the BV parameter...
    The Filter was a solution. But it takes long time to Query all the data from DB and then filter at BV level.
    How do i pass the CurrentCEUsername to {?User_id}
    Value should ve CurrentCEusername always. so that query will be
    select Acc_Number, Account_Group,User_id  from Accounts where user_id=CurrentCEusername
    It will restrict the data pulled from DB to BV .. right?

  • Pass value from Java to Perl

    Anyone knows how to pass value from Java to Perl program?

    Did you write the perl program? Can you change it? Or are you trying to interface to something that already exists? This will limit your options, of course.
    Anyway the first option is simple. The java program does this:
    System.out.println("This is a line of input.");The perl program does this:
    while(<>)and in that block, $_ is assigned to each line of input.
    Then you can invoke both like this:
    $ java MyJavaProgram | perl MyPerlProgram.pl
