Read/set HTML checkbox in JSP

Hello,
I need to directly read and set the state of an HTML checkbox from a JSP page that contains it. It is not sufficient to submit the form and then get the value from the next page; I need to be able to set the value when the page loads, and then on cue, store the (possibly changed) state of the checkbox within the same page.
How can this be done? Thanks in advance.

you write the checkbox tag dynamically...
<input type="checkbox" ... <%= checked ? "checked" : "" %>>
or use a tag library that does it for you.
But you can't do it within the page without Javascript. Once it loads in the browser, the Java part of the page is done and gone. So either you use Javascript to alter things in the browser before submitting the form, or you submit the page and recreate it based on what's submitted so far.

Acrobat 9 HTML to PDF conversion sets all checkboxes to checked - Duplicate question

I am converting html files to pdf using Acrobat 9 pro. All of the check boxes and radio buttons come out checked.
This is exactly the same as the following thread:
Acrobat 9 HTML to PDF conversion sets all checkboxes to checked?
That thread is old, but not answered. Has there been any update to this?

Hi Don,
Have you tried updating to v 9.5.5 and checked.
Which OS and browser are you using?
Have you checked the behavior with a new sample form on the browser?

Html:checkbox - which box is selected and on in what tr

I have a jsp in which I iterate over a LinkedList of people. Each person gets there own row in a table on the jsp page. In each row is the name of a person in the first <td> and then a checkbox in each of the next three <td>'s.
A user may order one of three reports on any or each of the names coming from my LinkedList by clicking on a checkbox.
Right now I am able to determine which report to order by which checkbox is selected in a row, but am unable to determine which row/person to order the report for.
I've seached this forum and went through the first couple pages of results with no luck. And spent a bit of time on google but can't seem to get the exact keywords to retrieve the results I need.
Here is a small sample of how I am setting up the table. Just a snippet, names have been changed, you won't be able to compile this.
<logic:iterate id="person" name="someLogical" property="personsList" type="someDataObjectType">
     <tr>
          <td valign="top" nowrap>
               <bean:write name="person" property="name"/> �
          </td>
          <td align="center" valign="top">
               //someForm is my actionForm, and orderReportOne is a boolean being set in the form
               <html:checkbox name="someForm" property="orderReportOne"/>
          </td>
          <td align="center" valign="top">
               <html:checkbox name="someForm" property="orderReportTwo"/>
          </td>
          <td align="center" valign="top">
               <html:checkbox name="someForm" property="orderReportThree"/>
          </td>
     </tr>
</logic:iterate>The booleans in my form are being set correctly but don't relate to a specific person. They would just order reportOne for each person in the list.
Edit: I will be leaving soon for the rest of the day and may or may not be able to reply again until monday, but appreciate any responses. Thanks

It depends on how you're utilising your XML, but ComboBox has selectedIndex property so that you can trace the index number of the item selected.

Is There a Bug in pdk-html:checkbox .... ?

I am attempting to use the <pdk-html:checkbox ....> tag and cannot get it to work.
When the user presses the Submit button and my code processes the checkbox the checkbox does not reflect that the user checked it.
The code I wrote in the .jsp is:
<pdk-html:checkbox value="yes" name="facListBean" property="check_box"></pdk-html:checkbox>
When the page gets rendered the code gets translated to :
<input type="checkbox" name="check_box" value="yes">
Notice the name is not qualified in any way. In the other pdk-html tags I have used the name gets prepended with qualifying data.
Is this a bug in the pdk-html:checkbox tag? Has anyone else use the pdk-html:checkbox successfully?

Thanks Don,
I was unaware of the multibox tag so I looked into it after reading your response. I tried to implement the following example code I found on the Husted web site:
JSP:
<logic:iterate id="item" property="items">
<html:multibox value="val" property="selectedItems">
<bean:write name="item"/>
</html:multibox>
<bean:write name="item"/>
</logic:iterate>
Action Form
private String[] selectedItems = {};
private String[] items = {"UPS","FedEx","Airborne"};
public String[] getSelectedItems() {
return this.selectedItems;
public void setSelectedItems(String[] selectedItems) {
this.selectedItems = selectedItems;
I get the error:
"You must specify the value attribute or nested tag content"
I added a value attribute to the multibox tag but that didn't change the error. Any idea what what I need to do here? What am I missing?
Thanks,

Doubt in using html:checkbox in struts

Hi all,
In my jsp page i have 2 checkboxes name mandatory and active.
<html:checkbox property="mandatory" value="true"/>
<html:checkbox property="active" value="true"/>
Insertion of data works fine,and now my doubt is about the edit mode.
In edit mode,depending on th value of thethese fields wheteher 0 or 1,checkbox should be checked.how can it be done?
In th corresponding for,the properties I declared as boolean values.Also reset method is provided .
Anyone pls help.
thanks

It's rather nasty, but you could wrap all your strings in <html></html>. Even so you still have to use entities, but the
following displays what you want:JLabel lbl = new JLabel("<html><html></html></html>");

How to send information from HTML page to JSP without reloading HTML page?

Hello,
Is it possible to send information(row number selected by user) from HTML page to JSP without reloading HTML page?
Thanks.
Oleg.

Yes, you can do this with framesets and a hidden frame.
You need a bit of JavaScritp in the "visible" frame that
sets the location of the hidden frame to the JSP.
Add the user's choice as a parameter to the JSP URL.

How to handle dynamically created checkboxes in JSP???

Hello everybody,
In a JSP page I would like to create checkbox dynamically on every
result line (detail line), then check in some of them and finally pass the checked lines to a JSP bean which will handle them on a submit button press.
The problem are:
- how to index every checkbox in jsp result line in jsp page in order to avoid solutions like this:
<input type=checkbox" name="value1">
<input type=checkbox" name="value2">
etc
- how to read every checkbox to find the checked ones
Is there anobody who has any experience from case like this?
Please, help me.
Best regards,
Danny

Hi, first off, no need to determine what has been checked or not. If the checkbox is checked, on the post, the value will be submitted as part of the request. If the checkbox is not checked, it will not be submitted (it's value will be null). Depending on what you need, I have approached this a number of different ways. One way is to name all checkboxes the same name. If you need to distinguish between two rows in the form, then in the value field for the checkbox, use some type of distinguishing factor, for example,
<input type=checkbox name=chkName value="1:abc">
<input type=checkbox name=chkName value="1:def">
Now, you only have to make one call on the Servlet/JSP receiving the form post, request.getParameterValues("chkName") which will return an array of the non-null Strings that were checked.

How to include HTML file in JSP using HTML elements or Javascript?

Hi,
I have around 15000 static html files one for each item which we display each upon invoking an item.The HTML file should be part of a JSP file.
Please note that the name of the HTML file is determined dynamically
Placing all the HTML files within the web application does not give us good performance so i would like to put all of them in the webserver.
I am not able to include the file in the JSP using the jsp:include attribute if i place the HTML files in the webserver ,
in order to do that i think should use either HTML element or javascript to include the HTML in the JSP.is there any alternative to <Jsp:include>
Does anyone have an idea how to include the HTML file and take advan tage of webserver?
Any ideas are appreciated

What you need to do is simply read the HTML file from the disk and dump it out to the outputstream. It really is that simple.
There's no reason you need to include all 15000 files in the actual WAR, you can place those files any place handy that is easy for the application to see (in another directory, or accessible from a file server if you have multiple front ends).
Then, just write a utiility function that takes the output stream (i.e. the 'out' JSP variable), and the file name, read the file, and write it to the stream.
If you start noticing performance issues, then you can try doing some caching, but truth is your OS should be doing that for you.
But, truth be told that's the only practical way to do it.
Another solution would be to use JavaScriipt and XMLHttpRequest (i.e "AJAX") to load the file at the client side, and simply replace a tag with the results.
That's also pretty trivial to write, any web site talking about AJAX should give you hint there.
Of course, that won't work for folks who have JavaScript turned off, or some other incompatible browser, whereas the server side solution obviously works everywhere.

How can i render a dynamic html file in jsp page

Hi everybody,
i am trying to render a dynamic html file in jsp page with the result of querying a database.
The response of the query is a xml document. And i have a stylesheet to transfer it to html.
How can i render the html in a jsp file?

I am using below code for HTML files
private var appFile:String="index.html";
if (StageWebView.isSupported)
                    currentState = "normal";
                    webView.stage = stage;
                    webView.viewPort = new Rectangle( 10, 130, (stage.stageWidth)-20, 750 );
                    var fPath:String = new File(new File("app:/assets/html/aboutus/"+ appFile).nativePath).url;
                    webView.loadURL(fPath);
                    addEventListener(ViewNavigatorEvent.REMOVING,onRemove);
                else {
                    currentState = "unsupported";
                    lblSupport.text = "StageWebView feature not supported";
above code is working fine for me.

Referencing static html pages from jsps...

          Hi,
          This is probably a very simple thing to solve, but I'm having problems with referencing
          html pages from jsps under Weblogic.
          I get Error 404 - not found, whenever I try something like this in a JSP...
          <frame name="title" src="title.html" scrolling=no>
          The title.html file has definitely been copied into my ear file, and yet it isn't
          found. I can solve the problem by turning title.html into a jsp and registering
          it in web.xml. But this seems like serious overkill with static content!!
          Am I missing something really simple here?


          I've worked it out - directory mistake...
          Thanks,
          Chris

Conditional HTML in a JSP page?

I've been scouring the help and web for about 2 hours and haven't found a way to do this yet.
What I'm trying to do is to conditionally generate attributes to a html tag via JSP, but everything I've tried (even stuff that's valid JSP) won't pass the JDeveloper HTML checks and it won't compile the JSP page.
Specifically, I'm trying to add a bgcolor attribute to a <tr> tag if conditions are met in data in the row, but everything I've tried to get the added data in the tag results in some error.
I've tried something like this in the HTML:
<tr <%= color %> >
and this from the java side:
if (rowCont > 20) {
out.prinln("<tr bgcolor=\"#c0c0c0\">);
else {
out.prinln("<tr>");
Both methods result in lots and lots of HTML errors and JDeveloper won't even compile the page. The hmtl way resutls in "name expected" errors, and the java way results in a bunch of "end tag doesn't match start tag" errors.
Any clues on ways to do this?
Thanks

Can you send me a larger snippet of code from your JSP? I do pretty much the exact same thing in all of our JSP's in our app. If you have a uix:form tag, you'll need to wrap all html inside uix:rawText tags.
String colText = "class=\"OraTableCellText\" style=\"border-left:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-bottom:1px solid #CCCCCC\"";
<td <%=colText%> >Text here </td>
<td <%=colText%> >More Text </td>

after chacking userID & pass
if(idpass == true)

if(idpass == false)
erre;
it will work or not pl tell me

If you do the redirect with javascript, the user cannot resubmit his login when he presses the refresh button. When he does press refresh, he only refreshes the redirect, not the form post that was before it. When he presses back the redirect will also kick him back in stead of going back to the login page. A simple javascript redirect page would look like this:
<html>
<body onload="document.location.href='myhtmlpage.htm';">
</body>
</html>But that is only if you care about resubmits of course.

How to upload an html file using jsp and jdbc

Hi,
im trying to upload an html page using JSP and jdbc. but of no success.
my aim is to keep some important html pages in the database.the file size can vary.the file has to be selected from a local machine (through the browser) and uploaded to a remote machine(where the databse resides).
any help/sample code or pointer to any helpful link is appreciated.
thanks in advance
javajar2003

When uploading a file, I use a byte array as a temporary buffer..
So, you should then be able to store the byte array in the
database as binary data.
example>
//Temporary Buffer To Store File
byte[] tmpbuffer = new byte[860];
//Some Code To Upload File...
//File Should Now Be In Byte Array
//Get DB Connection and execute Prepared Statement
Connection con=//GET DB CONNECTION;
String sql=insert into TABLE(page) values(?);
PreparedStatement ps=con.prepareStatement(sql);
ps.setBytes(1,tempbuffer);
ps.executeUpdate();
//Close PS and Free DB Connection
..... and this method looks like you dont even have
to store the file in a byte array, you can just give
it the input stream.
ps.setBinaryStream(int, inputStream, int);
You may have to make several attempts at this. I have
uploaded a file and temporarily stored it in a byte array,
but have never from there stored it in the DB as binary
data.. but this looks like it'll work.
Good Luck!

How to read the html code from a specific page

is there a way that I can get the source code of a specific url and display that into a textarea with java?

Sure. One thing you could do would be to have a servlet that fetches html from a given url and stores the html in a jsp bean. You can then use the data in this bean to populate the text area.
