What's a popup form? Is this to do with JavaScript?

Sep 27, 2004 20:40:00

you can do it like this
page1.jsp:
<html>
<head><b>session 1</b></head>
<body>
<%
String emailbutton = (String) session.getAttribute("emailbutton");
%>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="page2.jsp">
email : <input type="text" name="emailbutton" value="<%= emailbutton%>">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="call">
</form>
</body>
</html>

page2.jsp:
<html>
<head><b>session 2</b></head>
<body>
<%
session.setAttribute("emailbutton",(String) request.getParameter("emailbutton"));
String emailbutton = (String) session.getAttribute("emailbutton");
String emailbutton2 = (String) sessin.getAttribute("emailbutton2");
%>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="page3.jsp">
<%
out.println("we get emailbutton:" + emailbutton + " from session");
%>
job : <input type="text" name="emailbutton2" value="<%= emailbutton2%>">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="call">
</form>
</body>
</html>

thank you, chen , thank you very much for your time and help ...

i have a question, when i type as follow

it generate error (can't get variable), why is it so ? but if i put "String email2" then is ok ...is it a need to follow exactly the name from getAttribute("email2")?

thank you !

How are you setting your attribute. i mean, if you set like this

request.getSession().setAttribute("email2","any");

then you must get like this

session.getAttribute("email2");

if it is like

request.getSession().setAttribute("String email2","any");

then you must get like this

session.getAttribute("String email2");

thanks for reply adeel , what i actually means is as follow

why i must make email2 then only can prone the error ? i try "String email = (String) session.getAttribute("email2");" , it come up "can't find the variable " error, thank you !

may be your session doesn't have this "email2" attribute. try to get session.getId(). and confirm it that you are accessing the same session, while doing getAttribute().

infact couldn't get you really elaborate more if it is something different. give a snippet of setAttribute() along getAttribute()

hi, dirk, this is actually jsp question

i would like to further my description on this popup

when the popup form display, it actually contains 3 pages, i named it page1, page2 and page3 ..every page contains some textbox and selection for keeping user configuration setting

each page contains "previous" and "next" button, and when user click next button it will goto page2 while user in page1.. and also page2 next button will go page3, however, page3 contain extra button "preview" which allow display user selected data

now, i want to display selected data when user click "preview" button in page3, and these selected data also be save and use for further process

can anyone please suggest or guide me on my case ? thank you very much for your time !!

Sep 28, 2004 02:46:00

you can save selected data in HttpSession when user click "next"

Sep 28, 2004 02:53:00

do you mind to show me how to do that ? i'm new in jsp ...thank you for your time

Sep 28, 2004 03:25:00

request.getSession().setAttribute("page3", data);

Sep 28, 2004 04:30:00

this is setsession2.jsp

<html>

<head><b>session 1</b></head>

<body>

<form name="form1" method="post" action="setsession.jsp">

email : <input type="text" name="emailbutton" >

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="call">

</form>

<%
String mybutton = request.getParameter("emailbutton");
System.out.println("emailbutton:" + mybutton);
session.setAttribute("accessobj2", mybutton);
%>

</body>
</html>

this is getsession.jsp

<html>

<head>set session</head>

<body>

<%

String str = (String) session.getAttribute("accessobj");
String str1 = (String) session.getAttribute("accessobj2");

String str2 = (String) request.getParameter("emailbutton");

if(str == null)
{out.println("null");}

else

{out.println("we get :" + str2 +" from getParameter");}

{out.println("we get :" + str +" from session");}

{out.println("we get :" + str1 +" from session");}
%>

</body>

</html>

Sep 28, 2004 04:45:00

from getsession.jsp , how do i get the values that type by user ? say "emailbutton" and "emailbutton2" text field ....thank you !!

Sep 29, 2004 00:33:00

hi, this is the source code that i mentioned, if i put "String email" as shown, it will generate error ? why is it so ?

Sep 29, 2004 01:16:00

anyone think i did wrongly ...i think may be cause by p2p software like edonkey s/w

Sep 29, 2004 01:31:00

you mean if you do this,

<%String email = (String) session.getAttribute("email2");%>

then it results in error "can't find the variable"

and if you do this instead,

<%String email2 = (String) session.getAttribute("email2");%>

then it works fine.

i dont think so. could you print the whole StackTrace??

Sep 29, 2004 01:49:00

how to print stacktrace ? adeel ?

Sep 29, 2004 01:58:00

this is the error i get from tomcat server ..

The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

wht you gettin is a compile time error or a runtime exception??

if exception then do e.printStackTrace() and paste the exception from console.

otherwise, paste the error from the console.

are you using Tomcat as a JSP container?? or something else. please mention.

Sep 29, 2004 03:01:00

error is shown on upper thread

Sep 29, 2004 03:33:00

nothing to say. just make sure that you are using <%%> instead of <%= %>

This. Exactly this. This is what my therapist has been talking about. And now with a tiny ad:
