Tapesty form target external url (ie custom url)

[Boris Horvat <ho...@gmail.com>]

I need to forward some data to a given url (external to my application).
However I dont want to create a normal form as then I wont be able to use
tapestry mixins and such on field elements.

How can I achieve this to forward form process to an external url?

Cheers

Hi, Boris!

I did something similar in my recent project:

Maybe you find this useful.

Your assumption is correct, I chouse to do it view different forms at the
moment (the users hast to click few more times but I might change it in the
shore future as per you suggestions)

I will need to google a bit more about your 3ed option it seems to be what
I need (the website I am trying to forward data - moneybookers has mention
something similar)

Thanks,
Cheers

You have a few options

1. Return a java.net.URL from your onSuccess() event - This will only work
if your external URL allows GET. You can use the query part of the URL to
pass request parameters

2. Use javascript to post a form to the external URL - Redirect after your
onSuccess() event to a page which posts a simple non-tapestry form to the
external URL.

3. Serverside POST - Use something like apache HttpClient to do the
external POST from your server. You might get an external session id back
that you can then use in a redirect to the external site.

Note, in all of these solutions I have assumed you want to first handle the
form in tapestry so you can validate etc.
