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 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 list box in a .jsp.
<SELECT name="name">

</select>
<input type="submit"
value="Names">
I need to send the name to another .jsp. I don't know how to receive it or send it. I am using form method="post". I need to use the name selected in a query in my next .jsp, so I can select all the data in that has that name in it. I am connecting to a database on the iseries. Do I have to use submit or can I use something else? I wanted to use a link like this.

Java Thread - difficulty while passing value from parent to child thread

Hi All,
I am calling a java program from a unix script .
My oblectives are
1)to pass value from scripts to main java class
2)main class should create a child thread and pass data to child and should return control back to script
3)child thread should run independtly of parent
The calling unix script is part of process and hence should return control back to its calling script immediately.
Findings
1)Without passing data thru setter getter /constructor method to child thread my objectives are met
2)When I pass the data from parent thread to child thread calling unix scripts wait till child thread finishesh its working
call.scr
java Main <list of Arguments>
Main.java
public class Main
             public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
             String data2="Z";
             String data1=null;
             for(int i=0;i<args.length;i++)
                  data2=data2+","+args;
data1=data2;
Child cu=new Child();
cu.setData(data1);
data2=null;
data1=null;
cu.start();
Child.javaclass Child extends Thread
public String data;
void setData(String data)
this.data=data;
public void run()
----------> processing on data
I think due to passing of data from parent thread to child thread (Inter thread data communication/Inter process communication)
the threads are not working as desired.
Plz anybody can suggest something.....
Thanx.

aschin,
You seem to be confusing Java Threads with Operating System Processes.
If you want you're java program to run in the unix background then you'll need to run it in the unix background. Java (being o/s agnostistic) doesn't provide process manipulation functionality (which would include the ability to throw itself into the background, as a C program can) in the standard API, and it's hard to imagine any third party producing anything as low level as a process controler... so yeah, just start the java program in the background... and you'll need to workout some interprocess communication protocol... named pipes have worked well for me in the past, as they doesn't suffer from the quit same performance issues as real disk files.
Good luck. Keith.

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 values from javascript in pop up window to parent jsp

Hi
I am trying to pass values from a pop up window to the main window that popped this child window , with the idea to have the parent window refresh itself with value from pop up window.But the values are not going through.I do a request on the hidden variable but when the parent
jsp refreshes , the variable is still null...
The following is the code i have .
Parent jsp:a.jsp
<form name='summary'>
<input type=hidden name=customerid value="">
<input type="button" class="textButton" name="action" value="customerlist" onClick="javascript:openWin('b.jsp','800','350')">

var newWin = window.openloc,"HTML",'dependent=1,toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=' + w + ',height=' + h);
newWin.window.focus();
</SCRIPT>
<%
String optionVal = request.getParameter("customerid");%>
var user = "<%= optionVal%>";
</form>
child jsp- b.jsp (pop up window)
<script>
function closer(){
var val = document.formname.id.selected.value;
window.opener.document.summary.customerid.value = val;
window.opener.location.reload();
</script>
<form name = formname>
<input type="text" name="id" value = ''>
<input type="button" class="textButton" value="select"
onClick="closer();window.close();">

Passing values from method array to class array

HELP!! Plz excuse any ignorance. Am a noob and have created an array within my class. I then try to alter those array values from inside one of the classes methods. When I try to access the new values from the class array, they don't exist. I think it's a duration/scope issue and am struggling to get around it. This is the only way I can implement the task required and would appreciate any advice you can thorw. cheers in advance.. =~D

I suspect that you're altering an array passed as a parameter, rather than array that's a field of the instance, but as you didn't post any of your code, that can only be a guess.

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.
cheers,

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

Hi guys,
I am new to XML, I want to pass values from XML to JSP. I have a xml file with attributes, I should send this values to a JSP file. How is it??? Please Help guys.... its very urgent. Please send me how to do it with an example or atleast any urls related that....
Looking for ur favourable reply.
Thanks in advance,
Sridhar

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
