RE: JSP question on submitting
You can use the <jsp:forward... command to go on to any other url

Re: JSP question on submitting

Well, I suppose it could be a servlet. But then I have the problem of how
to POST data to the next from from the servlet, which is basically the
problem I have now. If I could use GET I'd just have the JSP (or servlet)
generate the key pairs manually instead of using input fields...
There has to be an easy way to do this, basically all I want it to do it
when it gets to the end of the page, just hit the submit button by itself...
Ok, I just looked up the jsp:forward tag on the JSP specification from
Sun... It didn't answer the question, but nearby, I found this:
<jsp:param>
The jsp:param element is used to provide key/value information. This element
is used in
the jsp:include, jsp:forward and jsp:plugin elements.
When doing jsp:include or jsp:forward, the included page or forwarded page
will
see the original request object, with the original parameters augmented with
the new
parameters, with new values taking precedence over existing values when
applicable. The
scope of the new parameters is the jsp:include or jsp:forward call; i.e. in
the case of an
jsp:include the new parameters (and values) will not apply after the
include. This is the
same behavior as in the ServletRequest include and forward methods (see
Section
8.1.1 in the Servlet 2.2 specification).
For example, if the request has a parameter A=foo and a parameter A=bar is
specified for
forward, the forwarded request shall have A=bar,foo. Note that the new param
has
precedence.
So I guess the forward tag does include parameter from the original page as
well...
Whatever works, thanks for the help!

Question about Apache connecting to Tomcat !
Posted by David Qian <Da...@accrue.com>.
Hello, everyone:
I am trying to compile Apache 1.3.12 on on sun machine.
The machine is as follows:
SunOS bird 5.7 Generic_106541-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250
I used the following command to compile apache to support Dynamic Shared
Object:
./configure --prefix=/path/to/apache --enable-rule=SHARED_CORE
make install
Then When I used the following commands to compile the mod_jserv.c,
apxs -c .* -o mod_jserv.so
I got the following error meesgges:
apxs:Error: Sorry, no DSO support for Apache available
apxs:Error: under your platform. Make sure the Apache
apxs:Error: module mod_so is compiled into your server
apxs:Error: binary `/export/bird/bkt0/etel/apache/bin/httpd'.
I am struggling this for a couple of days now.
Any instruction or guideline will be greatly appreciately !
Thanks !
David

Well I think the forward forwards the request and IS more like a link.
I was just playing around and I guess I'm wrong, you can't use javascript
on your link for the auto-redirect like you can on normal links :(
Not sure what to do ....... why does it have to be on a JSP in the middle
though? Why doesn't your first page send everything to a Servlet, have
that servlet do all the work, then have the servlet forward the request to
the page you want?

Re: JSP question on submitting
Posted by Jeff Neuenschwander <je...@collegeguy.com>.
That is a good idea. The only problem is that I have one situation where it
always would auto-refresh, but then another where it calls up different ones
depending on parameters. The <jsp:forward...directive might work, but I
was thinking that the forward directive works more like automatically
clicking on a link, which I thought was different than actually submitting a
form. I need the input fields on my form to be submitted to the new form,
which I think your method of the javascript would work, except I don't know
which form to call until after the bulk of the page is processed.
If the second page was mine, it'd be much easier, but it's a 3rd party
vendor. I'm getting some info from a form, submitting it to another form
for database storage, then the page that writes to the database sends the
data to a 3rd party cgi... I just don't want my users to have to click a
"Click here to continue" button for no reason on the jsp page that write to
the database...
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff

well here's something I've never tried ......... try putting the
auto-redirect HTML meta tag in your header and have it call the
javascript method to submit the form .......... I don't see why that
wouldn't work (but it'd have it wait a few seconds, not instantly
redirect so that you're sure all your form elements are filled).

Re: JSP question on submitting
Posted by Jeff Neuenschwander <je...@collegeguy.com>.
If I have my first jsp page have some new hidden input fields (such as
values that the jsp page pulled from a db), are those fields posted to the
page that it forwards to, just like if I had put a submit button on the form
and pushed it?
I do have a form method that specifies POST and the URL, but how does it
work when I use forward? I know I have to put the URL again in the
jsp:forward statement, but will the page it forwards to get those input
fields posted to it?
Thanks,
Jeff
