passing request parameters as dynamic

[yekkala krishna]

Hi,

In my jsp if i pass request parameters as static its working fine but when i pass as dynamic its giving error.

<table border="0"  >

<tr>

<td>choose from the list</td>

<td>

<select name="classname">

<option value="Router">Router</option>

<option value="Interface">Interface</option>

<option value="IP">IP</option>

</select>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>Enter Host Name</td>

<td><input type="textfield" name="instance"/></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td  >            <div align="center">

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="click" onclick = "window.open('/forums/viewMapToolScreen.html?com.smarts.autoAttachDM=10.80.159.20:7001/SAM-GSAM1&class=com.smarts.webapps.SmWebMapApp&com.smarts.launch.class=<%=request.getParameter("classname")%>&com.smarts.launch.instance=SESSION-APP-InChargeService_SAM-T1-bay->APP-InChargeService_IP-Perspective&com.smarts.map.showAllBusiness=1&com.smarts.userid=admin&com.smarts.password=changeme"></c:url>')"/>

following is the error what i am getting:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /WEB-INF/views/mapToolInformation.jsp(211,260) equal symbol expected

Could anybody please suggest what can i do to solve this?

Since you say its working fine for a static variable, try printing the value of the dropdown to the screen to see if the value is being picked up...
Can you supply an id attribute to the select tag and test if it works?

Hi Hedge,
Good to see your reply.
In my application its giving error due to syntax error in the url for this it seems: com.smarts.launch.class=<%=request.getParameter("classname")%>.
so i can't able to get that value.
could you suggest please what changes i need to do for the above syntax.

regards,
rama

You should be using the EL, not obsolete Java scriptlets. In which case the syntax would be: ${param.classname}

[Sai Hegde]

Exactly, scriptlets are obsolete... But just in case you needed just a page running... you can have an onChange attribute calling a JS function to set the attribute value... Not the best way of doing it though...

Hi Bear,
As you said i passed parameters in the below syntax:

<table border="0"  >
<tr>
<td>choose from the list</td>
<td>
<select name="classname">
<option value="Router">Router</option>
<option value="Interface">Session</option>
<option value="IP">IP</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Enter Host Name</td>
<td><input type="textfield" name="instance"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td  >            <div align="center">

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="click" onclick = "window.open('
<c:url value ="/viewMapToolScreen.html">
<c:param name="com.smarts.autoAttachDM" value="10.80.159.20:7001/SAM-GSAM1"/>
<c:param name="class" value="com.smarts.webapps.SmWebMapApp"/>
<c:param name="classname" value="${param.classname}"/>
<c:param name="instance" value="${param.instance}"/>
<c:param name="com.smarts.userid" value="admin"/>
<c:param name="com.smarts.password" value="changeme"/>
</c:url>')"/>

But its giving same error like org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /WEB-INF/views/mapToolInformation.jsp(211,258) equal symbol expected

could you please check is there any syntax error in the above at onclick attribute value.
thanks in advance.
regards,
rama
