Pass parameter from JSP page to JAVA file

2004-08-05 17:35

Hi,

I know this may be a newbie type question, but I am really stuck...

How can I pass a value from a JSP page to a .java file so that a parameter in the .java file can take on the value passed from the JSP page??

 

Thanks,

Consider

com.sample.SampleCode.java is the java code which need to get values from .jsp page

 

package com.sample

 

public class SampleCode

{

public static String getValue(String str)

{

return str;

}

 

}

 

and this is the .jsp page

----------

sample.jsp

----------

 

<%@ page import="com.sample.SampleCode %>

<%

String s = "Sample";

SampleCode.getValue(s);

%>

 

This is one way of solving your problem.

 

Thanks,

Bala

You misread the question: you're passing a parameter from a Java object to a JSP page.

 

By "parameter" I assume we're talking about a value entered into an HTML form input element.

 

You need to make the JSP render an HTML form & configure the web container so that a Java servlet* handles the form submission. You can then get the parameter value from the servlet request object. I imagine you'll pass this on to the Jasper report or datasource.

 

* Note that the JSP is compiled to a servlet, so for simple cases the HTML form could submit to the JSP that generated it.

Hi Richard,

 

Thanks for your reply. I am not very good with JSP or Servlets yet, is there any good examples (sample codes) that show how its done as you have just explained?

Have you tried looking at the code that is provided in the Jasper webapp sample? It contains a jsp page that you might be able to learn from.

hi Richard,

 

plz check this is correct

 

_______________

 

Sample.html

_______________

 

<form name="frm1" action="sample.jsp" >

<input type="hidden" name="emp_name" value="brain"/>

.....

....

....

....

...

</form>

 

.html file passes the value of emp_name to .jsp file.

and .jsp file

 

___________________

 

sample.jsp

___________________

 

<%@ page import="com.sample.SampleCode %>

<%! String or_d;%>

 

<%

or_d = request.getParameter("emp_name");

SampleCode.getValue(or_d);

%>

 

and from the getValue method you can get the value which is pased form

.jsp page and you can send that value as parameter to .jrxml

 

i hope it make sense.

Yeah, looks about right.

 

To get closer to the original poster's problem, sample.html would be generated by a(nother) JSP.

 

The Jakarta Struts framework imposes a clear pattern (model-view-controller) on this which encourages discipline in terms of what code goes where -- with traditional JSPs it's too easy to mix request logic with presentation logic.

 

You don't need Struts, you can just stipulate that all form submissions are processed by some servlet, which attaches the results (as beans) to the request & forwards to a JSP -- you then put request logic in the servlet & presentation in the JSP. Struts makes some of this much easier, though.

 

Google "servlet jsp tutorial" (without the quotes) for more info.

Hi,

 

Thanks for all your help people...

 

Bala_eazy, I can understand the code you posted (its very helpful, thankyou), but when you say: "you can send that value as parameter to .jrxml" can you please post up an example code that does this?

 

I know I sound stupid, but I have never done this before and one example should get me going...

 

Once again, thanks for all your help.
