Using values from an HTML in a JSP

Hi,
Is it possible to use the values from form entries on a HTML page on a JSP page that gets called when the Submit button is clicked?
Thanks!

Sorry I didn't see Gimbal's message at the time of posting this message, what he has written is correct.
This was my original post and that's also correct:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes it is possible.
first.html
<html>
<head><title></title></head>
<body>
<form action="second.jsp" method="post">
<input type="text" name="someField" value=""/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>--------------------------------------------
second.jsp
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<html>
<head><title></title></head>
<body>
Request Parameter Value : ${param.someField}
</body>
</html>(One note though, instead of using
<%
request.getParameter("someField");
%> you can now use the shorter EL syntax
${param.someField} - but I don't know if this short syntax requires one to install JSTL 1.1 . If it doesn't work you might have to install JSTL 1.1 if you want to use the short syntax. )

Retrieve values from a HTML table !!!

Hi.
How can i retrieve values from a HTML table using javascript ?
I´m trying to use the command "document.getElementsByTagName" without success.
Thanks in advance.
Eduardo

Hi, Deepu.
I´m still with trouble in retrieving the value in HTML.
In debug the C_CELL_ID seems to be correctly updated but
when using the command "document.getElementById" the value is always "null".
I implemented in the method DATA_CELL the code :
if i_x = 3 and i_y = 2.
C_CELL_ID = 'zs'.
C_CELL_CONTENT = 10.
endif.
And in HTML :
var ztest = document.getElementById('zs');
alert(ztest);
Could you help me please.
Many regards

How do I pass input values from a html page to a jsf page

hi,
In my project,for front view we have used html pages.how can I get input values from that html page into my jsf page.for back end purpose we have used EJB3.0
how can I write jsf managed bean for accessing these entities.we have used session facade design pattern and the IDE is netbeans5.5.
pls,help me,very urgent
thanx in advance

Simplest way is to rewrite html page into jsf page.
You can use session bean in your managed bean like this:
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
public class ManagedBean {
private Context ctx;
private Object res;
// session bean interface
private Service service;
          public ManagedBean() {
            try{
                 ctx = new InitialContext();
                 res = ctx.lookup("Service");
                 service = (Service) res;
           catch(Exeption e){

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

Hi,
Use NVL or COALESCE:
NVL (col_a, col_b)
Returns col_a if col_a is not NULL; otherwise, it returns col_b.
Col_a and col_b must have similar (if not identical) datatypes; for example, if col_a is a DATE, then col_b can be another DATE or it can be a TIMESTAMP, but it can't be a VARCHAR2.
For more about NVL and COALESCE, see the SQL Language manual: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/functions119.htm#sthref1310
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

How to use value from Custom Select tag

Hi,
I have made a custom tag for html element select. It is a very basic tag with the selection of one vaule. I am able to populate the list using custom tag in JSP but i am not able to optain the value from that. Kindly see my jsp code.
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Expenses Report</title>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<table summary="layout">
<tr>
<td>Month:</td>
<td>
<tt:Select name="month" from="${ExpensesDBO}"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<c:if test="${fn:length(param.month) > 0}">
<table summary="layout" border="1">
<tr>
<td align="center">Year</td>
<td align="center">Month</td>
<td align="center">Shopping</td>
<td align="center">Groceries</td>
<td align="center">Fixed Expenses</td>
<td align="center">Transportation</td>
</tr>
<tt:Expenses var="exp" username="${sessionScope.user}" from="${ExpensesDBO}">
<tr>
<td>${exp.year}</td>
<td>${exp.month}</td>
<td>${exp.shopping}</td>
<td>${exp.groceries}</td>
<td>${exp.fixedExpenses}</td>
<td>${exp.transportation}</td>
</tr>
</tt:Expenses>
</table>
</c:if>
</center>
</body>
</html>
Basically based on the selected value I want to show the same page with the details including page with the default value in select list.
I have made a generic select custom tag to be used within the application.
Regards,
Rahul.

If both tables come from the same data source, join the two tables in one data set rather than two as shown. If they are from different data sources, use a 'join data set'

Reading value from bar code reader into JSP

Hi all,
I am designing a web-site which can read the barcode value from the barcode scanner.Please let me know how to do that.
Awaiting Reply.
Thanks
Gowrishankar

1) I don't think there's a <input type="barcode-reader"/> form element in HTML - whether it was generated from a JSP or not doesn't matter.
2) You could use an applet. But only if the user has all necessary means installed to let Java use the barcode reader.
3) The applet needs to be signed, of course.
4) If the user doesn't have the stuff installed, you could theoretically make the applet install it, if it knows where to get the resources and if the access restrictions allow it.
So there's a purely theoretical possibility at best.

How can I return some values from an applet invoked by jsp:plugin tag

My JSP is something like that:
<html>
     <head>
             <title> . . . </title>
     </head>
     <script>
          function getValueFromApplet()
               var src = document.pinApplet.checkPin();
               document.myForm.j_username.value = document.pinApplet.tokenizeName(src);
               alert(document.myForm.j_username.value);
               document.myForm.j_password.value = document.pinApplet.tokenizePassword(src);
               alert(document.myForm.j_password.value);
     </script>
        <body>
                <jsp:plugin type="applet"
                      code="PinApplet.class"
                   codebase="/idp"

                     <jsp:fallback> Authentication Form is not supported by the browser </jsp:fallback>
          </jsp:plugin>
                <form action="https://xxx.xxx.xxx"
               name="myForm"
               method="post" onSubmit="return getValueFromApplet()">
          <table>
               <td><input type="submit" value="OK" >
               <td><input type="hidden" id="j_username" name="j_username" value=""></td>
               <td><input type="hidden" id="j_password" name="j_password" value=""></td>
          </table>
          </form>
     </body>checkPin() returns "alice--alice"
tokenizeName() returns the first token: alice
tokenizePassword() returns the second token: alice
When I test the applet in the IDE, it returns the values properly, but not in the JSP invokation.

Is your Applet being initialised correctly?
Where have you got the classes for it? I think the applet doesn't need any kind of initialization, because it doesn't have any variables and all the process is made in the method called by onsubmit()
The applet is composed only by one class and I'm totally sure that the class is placed in the correct place.
evnafets wrote:
I would say put in a couple more alerts - one before the call to the applet, one after.
put some logging statements in your applet to see if it gets there.In the javascript, there are two alerts between the three calls to the applet. Where do you advise me to put more alerts?
I don't understand what do you refer when you say "logging statements"
I am going to test again the call to the applet in order to find some kind of code that can be invalid or that can make the function to "crash"

How do I create a series of text frames using values from Excel list?

First of all, this is the very first script I'm attempting to write from scratch. I'm completely green at scripting, and I've picked up a few snippets from Adobe's ID scripting guide, but nothing has really stuck yet relating to this particular objective.
My supervisor keeps a master list of ad spaces, with the name of the account, how wide the space is, and how tall the space is, all in an Excel sheet. These spaces can number in the hundreds, and I am stuck manually drawing one rectangle for every space, which takes a very long time.
I'd like to create/have help creating a script that will take these values and "automagically" draw these spaces in the form of text frames, with the width (in columns) and the height (in inches) defined by the values in the master list, as well as the name of each account appearing in the subsequent text frames.
The script doesn't necessarily need to be able to pull the values straight from the Excel sheet; I can transfer the values to a support text file if needed, or directly into the script, changing it as I need it. A big thing (if it is not able to pull right from an Excel sheet) is that the number of spaces changes weekly, and so do the accounts, and the width and the height. Accordingly, it would be ideal if the values from the sheet could be changed easily, so as to create a new set of spaces as needed.
Positioning for each space is not crucial, only height and width. If they all appear on top of each other on the same page, that will be a result for me. The main idea is to not have to draw them all manually, one by one.
To me, this sounds like a tall order, but hopefully some experienced scripters out there can assist me, as I wish to become experienced as well.
So, the TL;DR version:
- Script needs to draw a series of text frames.
- Text frames dimensions need to be defined by width and height values from Excel sheet.
- Text frames must have account name as contents (from account names in Excel sheet).
- Accounts, width and height change every week in the Excel sheet, so must be relatively easy to exchange all of the values.
- The width values are on the Excel sheet as columns. It would be ideal if the script could convert those numbers into multiples of columns as needed.
- (Optional) Script can pull values directly from Excel sheet.
- (Optional) Script can define text frame fill color as gray. (If it works as I think it will, I could just select all the resulting text frames myself and set them all to gray at once... I'm not that lazy )
Thanks in advance to whomever can assist in any possible way, even if it is just a push in the right direction. This script will save 1-2 hours of tedium every week.

Sound like the perfect thing for InDesign Scripting.
I would copy the Excel contents into a text file, to get a format that is easily read from InDesign, and there will automatically be a TAB for each "cell" just using copy/paste.
Here is a piece of code, that you perhaps could go on with (adding variable to change pages and location on page, and other stuff).
The readFileLineByLine function, can be easily re-used with any function using "callback". You simply supply the function to it, that you want to be executed for every line of text that is read:
const COLUMN_WIDTH = 2; // Define the column width in inch
var pageIndex;
var textFramesExported; // not implemented.
// Add a new dokument. Set myDoc to app.activeDocument to use
// the current document instead of creating a new one.
var myDoc = app.documents.add();
// The doSomethingWithTextRow function is called upon for every line of text read.
readFileLineByLine('c:\\test.txt', doSomethingWithTextRow);
function doSomethingWithTextRow(row){
    // We expect the text line to be TAB separated (\t = TAB). We get that from just copying the contents of an
    // excel file into a text document.
    var cells = row.split('\t');
    var companyName = cells[0]; // The Company name in the first slot of the array
    var width = COLUMN_WIDTH * cells[1];
    var height = cells[2];
    // Create a new text frame for every row handled
    if (pageIndex==undefined) pageIndex = 0; // Count up when you have exported a number of texts, I leave this for you to do.
    var newTextFrame = myDoc.pages[pageIndex].textFrames.add();
    newTextFrame.contents = companyName;
    // The text frame is created in the top left corner.
    newTextFrame.geometricBounds = [0, 0, height + ' in', width + ' in']; // Top, Left, Bottom, Right
    // You might want to move the textframes to other positions, keeping track of how many you put out per page.
    newTextFrame.move( [10, 10] );
function readFileLineByLine(path, callbackFn){
    var myFileIn = new File(path);
    if (File.fs == 'Windows'){
        // This was probably added to recognize UTF-8 (even without its start marker?)
        myFileIn.encoding = 'UTF-8';
    myFileIn.open('r');
    var myEncoding = myFileIn.encoding;
    try{
        if (!myFileIn.exists){
            throw('Missing file: ' + myFileIn.fsName)
        var ln = '';
        while(!myFileIn.eof){
            // Read the lines from the file, until an empty line is found [now as a remark].
            ln = myFileIn.readln()
            // if(ln !='' && ln!='\n'){
               // Call the function supplied as argument
               callbackFn(ln);
    }catch(e){
        alert(e);
        gCancel = true;
    finally{
        myFileIn.close();
The file in C:\ in my example was saved as UTF-8 and looks like this (showing hidden characters):

Use value from tabular form column in the LOV where clause of another column

Hi
Using APEX 4.2 on 11g
In a tabular form I want to filter the values in a Popup Key LOV based on the value of another column (same row).
i.e. I want to get the value of one column and use it in the where clause for the Popup LOV on the same row.
e.g. where COL 2 is a popup LOV
COL 1
COL 2
1
LOV SQL: SELECT a FROM b WHERE c = <value from COL 1>
2
LOV SQL: SELECT a FROM b WHERE c = <value from COL 1>
3
LOV SQL: SELECT a FROM b WHERE c = <value from COL 1>
The value in COL 1 does not change once the row is created. It is a hidden ID field.
Is this possible?
Nick

Anyone have any ideas?
I thought getting the value from one column and using it in another column would be commonly used functionality... I just can't seem to work it out.

Mapping an object using values from multiple tables

Is it possible to use values looked up in other tables when mapping an object?
For example: I have three tables. In table 1, I have fields for 'cityCode' and 'stateCode'. Table 2 is a state table which contains a list of stateCodes and corresponding stateIds. Table 3 is a city table with cityCodes listed by stateId (the city code is unique within the stateId but can be duplicated under other stateIds). Table 3 also contains the cityName for the matching cityCode/stateId pair.
I am ultimately trying to match a cityName to a cityCode. I can't figure out how to tell toplink use the stateId returned when mapping Table 1 to Table 2 via stateCode when mapping cityCode in Table 1 to Table 3.
Any help is greatly appreciated
--matt

What does your object model look like, do you have a single object with data from all three tables in it?
<p>
In general because the cardinality of the tables and usage does not match, I would not recommend using multiple tables to map this. Instead define a CityNameManager class that preloads and stores all of the city names for each state, (possible lazy initializing each set of cities per state). Your getCityName() method in your class would then just use this manager.
<p>
You could map the multiple tables but it may be difficult, and would most likely need to be read-only because I don't think you want to insert into the table2 or 3. You basically have a foreign key table1.stateCode => table2.stateCode, (table1.cityCode, table2.stateId) => (table3.cityCode, table3.stateId). You probably cannot define this in the Mapping Workbench, so would need to use the ClassDescriptor code API and an amendment method. If you can't get the foreign keys to work you can always use the descriptor multipleTableJoinExpression and define the join directly.
<p>
You could also define a OneToOneMapping to the CityName from your object using the cityCode and using a selectionCriteria() on your mapping to provide an expression that uses the getTable() method to join to the intermediate table.

Get multiple values from a html select

I have a <select> object on my html page, with ~50 <option> values.
My user must be able to select many options (with the ctrl key).
How can I get more than one value with request.getParameter("...") ??
currently, when I select more than 1 options, and I submit the form, I can only get the last selected item in my JSP.
Thanks in advance!
example:
<form method="get">
<p>Teachers:</p>
<select name="profs" size="10">
    <option value="prof 1">prof 1</option>
    <option value="prof 2">prof 2</option>
    <option value="prof 3">prof 3</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="action" value="addSubject">
</form>

Hi,
just use getParameterValues("yourParameter") instead of getParameter("yourParameter")
Hope this helps
