put parameter values back into context?
Is this the best way to get all the parameters from a form and
put them back into the context, or is there some simpler way
that I've overlooked?
Enumeration par_names = request.getParameterNames();
while(par_names.hasMoreElements()){
String s1 = par_names.nextElement().toString();
ctx.put(s1,request.getParameter(s1));
}
Thanks,
Ken

I guess I don't see why you'd want to do that, but communication is an
imperfect tool, alas....
Back to hacking with velocity!

Ops. True... however I just copy-pasted it from this thread.

Note that the '$' comes before the '!' in $!name.
What kind of encoding are you referring to?

Just would like to notice something offtopic:
Perhaps I have overlooked something but when I see this:
value="!$request.Parameter.Name"
then I think that you forget to encode the value. I know I'm such a fussy
man. :)

Yes, Thanks. The silent notation $!name works good with form data.
Much better than this (which is what I did before looking at the users
guide..)

#if ($name)

RE: put parameter values back into context?
Posted by "Charles N. Harvey III" <ch...@alloy.com>.
Use the silent notation in the form fields.
Do this in your servlet:
> >> context.put( "request", request );
> >>
> >> $request.Parameter.Name
> >> $request.Parameter.Password
> >> $request.Parameter.FavoriteCheese
Then, in your html page use the silent notation so that the first time
the page loads you will see blanks, but if the page loads again you will
see values filled in.
<form>
<input type="text" name="username" value="!$request.Parameter.Name" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
Try that.

Yes - I agree if you are saying that you want the values to be in the
context the same way each time - the yes, you want to take care of that
before rendering the template...

Thanks, but because the context is the same template (form) again,
after an error condition is found (bad password or failed form validation),
I'd like to send back the same set of simple variables; $username,
$password, etc,
so that they can populate the input fields again.
I also like to keep it as simple as possible for the web developer.
I give them a short list of variables, and they don't have to think
about properties or
methods unless it really makes sense to expose those things at the
template level.
