Can anyone tell me how to pass JavaScript values to Scriptlet in JSP?
This question is related to
java
javascript
jsp
scriptlet
You cannot do that but you can do the opposite:
In your jsp you can:
String name = "John Allepe";
request.setAttribute("CustomerName", name);
Access the variable in the js:
var name = "<%= request.getAttribute("CustomerName") %>";
alert(name);
If you are saying you wanna pass javascript value from one jsp to another in javascript then use URLRewriting technique to pass javascript variable to next jsp file and access that in next jsp in request object.
Other wise you can't do it.
I can provide two ways,
a.jsp,
<html>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function call(){
var name = "xyz";
window.location.replace("a.jsp?name="+name);
}
</script>
<input type="button" value="Get" onclick='call()'>
<%
String name=request.getParameter("name");
if(name!=null){
out.println(name);
}
%>
</html>
b.jsp,
<script>
var v="xyz";
</script>
<%
String st="<script>document.writeln(v)</script>";
out.println("value="+st);
%>
This is for other people landing here. First of all you need a servlet. I used a @POST request. Now in your jsp file you have two ways to do this:
The complicated way with AJAX, in case you are new to jsp: You need to do a post with the javascript var that you want to use in you java class and use JSP to call your java function from inside your request:
$(document).ready(function() {
var sendVar = "hello";
$('#domId').click(function (e)
{
$.ajax({
type: "post",
url: "/", //or whatever your url is
data: "var=" + sendVar ,
success: function(){
console.log("success: " + sendVar );
<%
String received= request.getParameter("var");
if(received == null || received.isEmpty()){
received = "some default value";
}
MyJavaClass.processJSvar(received);
%>;
}
});
});
});
The easy way just with JSP:
<form id="myform" method="post" action="http://localhost:port/index.jsp">
<input type="hidden" name="inputName" value=""/>
<%
String pg = request.getParameter("inputName");
if(pg == null || pg.isEmpty()){
pg = "some default value";
}
DatasyncMain.changeToPage(pg);
%>;
</form>
Of course in this case you still have to load the input value from JS (so far I haven't figured out another way to load it).
I've interpreted this question as:
"Can anyone tell me how to pass values for JavaScript for use in a JSP?"
If that's the case, this HTML file would pass a server-calculated variable to a JavaScript in a JSP.
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var serverInfo = "<%=getServletContext().getServerInfo()%>";
alert("Server information " + serverInfo);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Its not possible as you are expecting. But you can do something like this. Pass the your java script value to the servlet/controller, do your processing and then pass this value to the jsp page by putting it into some object's as your requirement. Then you can use this value as you want.
simple, you can't!
JSP is server side, javascript is client side meaning at the time the javascript is evaluated there is no more 'jsp code'.
