Problem reading hidden fields

We have a problem with OC4J. Our web application is working perfectly fine on other application servers, such as Tomcat, but when running it on OC4J we experience some weird behavior.
We have a HttpServlet which handles the request and prints out the response, which contains a form with some hidden input fields.
What seems to be the problem is that these hidden fields don't seem to be included when the form is being submitted the first time, it behaves the same way as if we had open the window from the link once again, the hidden fields we set in the first request are empty. However, if I submit the form a second time, it works fine and the HttpServlet reads the hidden fields correctly.
I'm not sure whether it is a matter of an error in our web application, or a wrong configuration of the application server.
I hope someone understand and can help me with this, as I'm about to go mad...

We think the problem is related to a difference between the tomcat and oracle api, and it seems like a bug in Oracle application server 10.1.2.0.0.
The request.getParamaterMap() method seems to behave differently. This method always returned the correct paramater map when running on tomcat, while it happened to be empty many times on the oracle app server. Is this a known problem for Oracle app server?
A work-around for us was to make use of the request.getParameterNames(), and then iterate through the names and get them manually with request.getParameter(attributeName). This way we always got the correct parameters.

Implementing BADI TRIP_WEB_NUMBER, problem reading a field

Hi All,
Have anyone implemented BADI TRIP_WEB_NUMBER before,
Interface : IF_EX_TRIP_WEB_NUMBER
Method:     USER_EXIT_NUMBER_INTERNAL
I need a help.
In this method i have exporting parameter NUMBER_RANGE TYPE INRI-NRRANGENR
so my requirement is just to change this parameter for particular conditon.
Problem is to make condition i need a field SCHEMA
You can check Structure HEAD_PERIO-SCHEM
or elset T706S OR T706T...
I need to read that field at runtime somehow, how can i achieve that pls help.
i can able to read only the date....
Pls help..
Thanks

Find out the main program name where the variable HEAD_PERIO-SCHEMA is declared. Then you can use the ABAP call stack method to retrieve the variable like below. This method can only be used to read a variable from ABAP call stack memory, that is the variable should be available in the scope of the program which is present in the run time call stack your BADI gets called in.
DATA: lv_name_xvbak(30) VALUE   '(SAPMV45A)VBAK'.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <xvbak> TYPE vbak.
* Retrieve Sales order details from abap stack
ASSIGN (lv_name_xvbak) TO <xvbak>.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
In the above code you can replace SAPMV45A with the main program name where field SCHEMA is available and VBAK with HEAD_PERIO (the structure or internal table where the field you want is available)
For accessing internal tables similarly
DATA: lv_name_xvbap(30) VALUE   '(SAPMV45A)XVBAP[]'.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <xvbap> TYPE TABLE OF vbap.
ASSIGN (lv_name_xvbap) TO <xvbap>.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.

Problem passing hidden field

Sorry about the code part, I will use the button next time. I tried out the alert and 2 messages pop up the first says that it is "calling onSubmit" the second shows my changes. Here is the javascript:

    object.options[index] = null;
function addOption(object,text,value) {
    var defaultSelected = true;
    var selected = true;
    var optionName = new Option(text, value, defaultSelected, selected)
    object.options[object.length] = optionName;
function copySelected(fromObject,toObject) {
    for (var i=0, l=fromObject.options.length;i<l;i++) {
        if (fromObject.options.selected)
addOption(toObject,fromObject.options[i].text,fromObject.options[i].value);
function delOption(object,text,value) {
var defaultSelected = true;
var selected = true;

Problem with Hidden Fields

I have generated an JSPX page using JHeadStart then i added a hidden field to the page and bind it to a back bean.
i set the value of this hidden field in the page load event of the page.
the problem is that when the page is submitted (e.g commit action) the value if the hidden field is returned to null, although the page still in the exits and i didn't navigate to another page ????

In that case, can you please create a test case based on the HR Schema (see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/muench/jhstutorial/index.html#setuphrschemaanddata)?
Also include a non-JHeadstart test case in which the problem does not occur, based on the same HR Schema (possibly in a different ViewController project based on the same Model project).
Please e-mail both to idevcoe_nl "at" oracle "dot" com,
* removing the WEB-INF/lib folder from the web root (public_html) before zipping, it makes the zip much smaller
* renaming the .zip file to something like .zipped before attaching it to the e-mail (otherwise our mail server will not process it)
* including detailed steps to reproduce the problem, and how to see that it works OK in the other test case.
Thanks,

Very Strange Problem... Missing hidden field when deployed on JBOSS

This problem is driving me nuts. Here it is... When I deploy my app to TomCat it works fine. When I deploy to JBoss everything works except the links . When I select a link rendered via JBoss the directory containing the JSP is displayed. I can also see that my filters are not being called in this case. I compared the HTML produced by TomCat to the HTML produced by JBoss and there was one minor difference. This hidden field was not rendered in JBoss:
<input type="hidden" name="contentView:contentForm:_idcl" />When I manually include this in the JSP and run JBoss.. It works.
I have spent a full day trying to figure out when the hidden field is not being rendered when deployed to JBoss... I would very much appreciate any suggestions.. Thanks in advance. Paul

Hi Paul,
I have the same problem under deployment to WAS, all <h:commandLink>s are out of order. The hidden form field '...:_idcl' is missing in the generated JSP, but will be generated under Tomcat.
Have you found a solution?
Cheers, Ralf.

SPD Workflow - Update a hidden/read only field

Hi there,
I have a list with a hidden/read only field (ie Status). So the user cannot update this field using the form or datasheet ...etc.
I have an SPD workflow that I was hoping would modify the value of the Status field. But it appears as though the option to modify it is not available as long as it is hidden and/or read-only. Aka, the field doesn't show up in the list of fields
to modify for the "Set field on current item" action.
I was hoping to avoid importing this into a visual studio project and adding in code, which I believe would do the trick; so are there any solutions that I can do within SPD itself?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Eirc,
as i understand you question you want to update hidden filed from workflow ?
solution 1 when workflow started it change field read only to false and after completing workflow
change it again true. by code.
Solution 2 Use javascript to make the field read only on presentation.
http://sputility.codeplex.com/ check this lib that might help you to manage readonly field on runtime
Solution 3 : you achieve by setting column level permission

Extraction from SAP, hidden fields problem

Hi Expeerts,
I have the following problem / question:
From an SAP Datasource (2lis_11_vaitm) we have some fileds, those are HIDED, and we need them. This is a central SAP, and a lot of BW systems connect to this SAP.
The problem is, that we need a field from that datasource (and other BWs do not need), that has 'HIDDEN' option. The SAP side is afraid of having problem, when they just uncheck that option. (TELF1; KONDA fields we need).
Does anyone know, what is the affects on other BW systems, when we unhide this fields? Of course we load with delta from this source.
If a field is hidden in SBIW-Maintain Datasources, am I right, that the delta does not collect those fields, or it is collected, just not sent to BW systems?
Any good idea, how can we get that fields in other way, because it seems, that the datasource cannot be modifyed, because of the other countries' BWs, connected to teh centra SAP.
I hope i were clear, but if not, please ask me.
Thanks for Your help.
Laszlo

Hi,
If a field is hidden in SBIW-Maintain Datasources, am I right, that the delta does not collect those fields, or it is collected, just not sent to BW systems?
--> As hidden fields are already available in extract strucute, unhiding will not create any problem. As far as i know hidden means it will transfer data from extract structure to further.
--> You can try pulling this particular data using generic datasource. OR
--> Enhance datasource by adding required fields and use. OR
--> Unhide files and use.
Note: Bit careful while transpporting datasource to production as time stamp changes.

Hidden field in form returns null value

Hi all - I searched for this but found nothing that fit my problem although various other problems came up.
I have a Login jsp, with a simple form for username and password:
<form name="login" method="post" action="servlet/ControlServlet"
onSubmit="return validateForm()"><table width="180" border="0"
cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
            <tr>
              <td width="96" class="logintext">Username</td>
              <td width="84"> </td>

maxlength="15"></td>
              <td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login"></td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
              <td class="logintext">Password</td>
              <td> </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
              <td class="logintext"><input name="password" type="password"

              <td><input name="actionCode" type="hidden" value="0"></td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
              <td> </td>
              <td><div align="center"><a href
="Register.jsp"><i>Register</i></a></div></td>
            </tr>
          </table>
          </form>Nothing complex in that form. my hidden field is actionCode and it should pass a 0 to my ControlServlet servlet.
Here is a snippet from my servlet:
import java.io.* ;
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class ControlServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
                    HttpServletResponse response)
      throws ServletException, IOException {
    response.setContentType("text/html");
            //get the printwriter to output for debugging
            PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
            //read in form variables
        //String formUsername = request.getParameter("username");
        //String formPassword = request.getParameter("password");
        String action = request.getParameter("actionCode");
        //convert String to int for action
        //int actionInt = Integer.parseInt(action);
        //add action variable to request
        request.setAttribute("aktion", action);
            //debug point 1
            //use requestDispatcher to forward session info to JSP
           RequestDispatcher dispatcher =
           request.getRequestDispatcher("/mvcoutput.jsp");
           dispatcher.forward(request, response);I have commented out a bit for debugging purposes, but basically, the form variables are read in, the username and password don't give me any problems, but the actionCode does. Upon forwarding to a basic jsp for testing my output displays value "null" when using the command:
request.getAttribute("aktion")Any reason why the hidden field is playing silly buggers ??
cheers

Anyone ???
If I have a field in an html form which is hidden, do I retrieve it in the SAME WAY that I retrieve the non hidden form fields i.e. using the request.getParameter() method ??
Cheers.

How to get-set Hidden field value from JSP ?

Hii,
I am quite newbie about jsp and looking for some help..
I have several url links on my jsp page.
I when I click one of them, I want to reload my page with new request parameter(s) but also keep the older one(s) in hidden field(s)...
but I dont know how to set and get hidden field value "syntax" and I am not sure about where/when should I do this... at first I though that I can do it in "onClick" property of url..
Thanks..

Hy,
I have a problem just like that. I am trying to send the value of an subdomain is to another page to be able to modify an entry.
So in listsubdomains.jsp I have
<input type = "hidden" name = "subdomainid" value="<%=subdomains.SubdomainID%>"><%=subdomains[i].SubdomainID%>.
This shouls send the id of the subdomain.
I an sending this to modifysubdomain.jsp with <form name = "listsubdomains" method = "post" action = "modifysubdomain.jsp">
and there I retrieve the value like this:
Integer id = new Integer (request.getParameter("subdomainid"));
out.println(request.getParameter("subdomainid"));
My problem is that no matter what is the value I chose to modify it always sends the first value. If I another value manually it works, but just then.
Please give me some ideas.

Escaping special characters in hidden fields

I am using a hidden field to pass values to the servlet. I am populating the hidden field from a bean. The hidden field can have any string value. My problem is that the value attribute on my hidden field is double quoted and if there is a double quote in the value of the String from my bean it messes my HTML up. Is there an easy workaround for this?
e.g.
<jsp:useBean id="myObject" scope="request" class="MyObject"/>
<input type="hidden" name="myValue" value="<%=myObject.getValue()%>">
If myObject.getValue() returns a string: 60" Mower this will mess my HTML up.
Any suggestions?

First off, Is the Pattern and Matcher specific to JDK 1.4.1? We are currently using 1.2.2? If this is a viable solution, is there a similar one in JDK 1.2.2?
Also, I still don't think it's possible in HTML to escape characters that are values of attributes. Try running the following HTML code:
<html>
<head>
   <script language="JavaScript">
   function getHiddenValue(){
      alert(document.myForm.hiddenDescription.value);
   </script>
</head>
<body>
   <form name="myForm">
   <p>
      <input type="hidden" name="hiddenDescription" value="60\" Mower">
   </p>
   <p>
      <input type="button" onclick="getHiddenValue()" value="Hidden Field">
   </p>
   </form>
</body>
</html>

Pass Hidden Field (Rep ID) as Parameter when user logs into site (CFusion)

I have set-up user validation to my site based on a userID and password, but I want to also pass a hidden field/parameter (RepID) to the rest of the site pages so that I can filter my record sets on those pages based on that RepID parameter.
I have coded everything the way I thought it should be, but I'm getting the following error when I test it and from what I can see it is defined...
Element PSWD is undefined in FORM.
Here is the form coding, as well as the CF coding for the user validation...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The userID and the repID are both unique to the user, but are used for different identification purposes. Both fields are in the same user login table...
I was able to solve the problem by adding <cfset Session.RepID=MM_rsUser.SALESMAN_ID> and adding the SALESMAN_ID field to the <cfquery>
Now it works great!
Thank you for your response!

Pass Parameter from JSPF to JSP hidden field?

Hi :
I got a problem here. This is the scenario, There's a pop-up JSP page which import a jspf file. In the jspf file, I'll add several value to an array. When user click on OK button on the jspf file. I need to set the array to a hidden field in the jsp file.
I'd try to use
window.opener.document.getElementById("hiddenLabel").value = arrayInJspf
but it's not working at all. So I just wonder can anyone gv me some hints on how this can be done? Thanks.

You'll need to use some kind of formatting to dump an array in a single formfield. I usually do something like this:
5|10|14|50|50000
This would be an array of 5 integers. When the data is submitted, I can get the array back with the String.split() method.

ISA Shop hidden field value lost

Hi,
I have a problem with the Internetshop. I need to change a value in a field like
<input type="hidden" name="savefield" value="">.
I change the value withe a onclick javascript event. I use a alert message to show me that the value changed.
The function of this value is to differ between the normal shop basket and my arranged basket.
There will be an if-term which will use this value and change the basket.
But every time i look into the hidden field its null.
Has anyone an idea whats the problem is?
Thx Johannes

Hi Johannes,
I found it difficult to approach a lot of my developments in the webshop as the development guide isn't very specific in it's examples.
I'm interested that you reference the version 3.00 guide - the last I found was version 1. Where did you get this document and/or are we talking about different documents?!
Thanks,
Gareth.

Hi,
I'm a new bee to this adobe forms and VBS.Could you explain more on that Fdf file or Can you send some documentation where i can go through of.
Even i'm very much happy to share the pdf file..the problem is it is binded with the SAP browser.So i cant make a copy to my local system,But i can explain all the technical stuffs inside the form.
The form is developed using adobe lifecycle designer,i can see the fields are defined in the design view.
The fields which i'm accessing to enter the values are visible & Set user defined values..
when you access through the SAP portal,it opens up inside the browser ..so every field you choose or select additional fields get added based on the selection..
The "GetField" code you have shared works perfectly fine..i could read all data,or i could select a particular field to retrieve the field.
But the "SetField" code you have shared locating the field but it is not writing the value into the field.I called a setfocus method on the particular field as well..then put f.value = fieldvalue still it chooses the particular field but didnt feed the value...
is it possible to call a keystroke to the particular field?
if you have any ideas please throw it up on me..i'll try all my possibilities.
Thanks for your time !
