Sure,
I have a page called customize.jsp which is populated by a bean that I call DatabaseItn.
When the initial page of customize.jsp is populated, the information from the bean is present and so the page is populated with the information of the bean; this page/information is located in Tile 2. I have help icons throughout the page that I am displaying with html:img tag.
What I was able to try:
When a user clicks on the help icon, I use
struts to process the command and display the information on Tile 3, but all the information from the bean that used to be in Tile 2 is not present anymore. This is because I only selected the property from the bean that referred to the help icon I wanted to thus all other bean information was lost.
What I would like to do is the following:
When a user clicks on the help icon, information is retrieved from the active bean on the page and displayed in Tile 3 while still maintaining all the information that was in the bean initially, so I can display it in Tile 2 with customize.jsp.
I was told to use AJAX, but I have not seen an example of AJAX that updates information to a different page. My understanding of AJAX is that it talks to the
servlet and updates information on a page (lets say customize.jsp in Tile 2) without reloading the entire Tile Layout, but I do not know yet of a way to use AJAX to take the information from customize.jsp, talk to the servlet and update that information on the page for Tile 3.
I hope that I have explained myself enough. If I haven't, please let me know and I will try again.
