I'm creating an app, that displayes a String from a database. This String is then displayed in a textbox that cannot be edited.
I now require that varible (ID passed) in the text box to be compared with a column in a SQL database table which is an identical String. Once the matching String is found I need to update other columns based on the queries.
when i use request.getParameters() method it is giving output as null.
i need it to be done purely in jsp. please help.
I think we dont have any method like request.getParameters(). it is getParameter(). Show your code then only we can help
Hi,
i made it read only.
here the data is getting retrieved from a sql query and below is the code that i used to do so.

It sounds like you have problem with the this line
String Add=request.getParameter("Allocation.text");
request.getParameter() Returns the value of the named attribute, It will return null if no attribute of the given name exists.i.e you cant access through the id
Hi Anand thanks for the previously, i am eager to know about how do i access the text in the textbox "Allocation" on my first jsp. the text over there is actually displayed from the database, but is not assigned to the textbox. how do i assign it to the textbox and use it to compare with the database.
you never combine the code of jsp with html componets
html component never communicate with jsp tags
jsp tags can't read html component values
but you are asking these two combination.
i think you got the point
@sunnykeerthi
request.getParameter("some_value") gets the value from "request parameter" and not "attribute".
Request parameters are sent as query string in a URL.
The code where data from database is populated ON first JSP is given below.
<input type="text" name="Allocation" size="75" id="Allocation" value="<%=rs.getString("DBID")%>" readonly="readonly">
I observe that this textbox is having only one id which is "Allocation" and this is same for all the data received from data base. If multiple values are received from database then there will be same number of text boxes and all of them have same id "Allocation" .
This is incorrect. Because on JSPs each element must have unique id.
I dont understand the need to put the value from resultset into a text-box.
This is ok if you are displaying it to a user.
If this(DBID) value needs to be sent to another page from current page.
Then construct a string by appending each value from result-set and send this as a "query string" to the next link(that is next jsp).
So in your code do like this on first JSP
String all_DBIDs="";// define a string to hold the values
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance();
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe", "system", "tiger");
ps=con.prepareStatement("select DBID from Scope1 where specialist IS Null");
rs = ps.executeQuery();
if(rs.next())
{
all_DBIDs=all_DBIDs+rs.getString("DBID");// append values to string from DB;
%>
<input type="text" name="Allocation" size="75" id="Allocation" value="<%=rs.getString("DBID")%>" readonly="readonly">
Then you need to include this string variable as a "query-string" when you are calling next JSP from current JSP.
I did not find the code where you are calling the next-JSP from the first-JSP.
Please show me how you are calling the next jsp from the FIRST-JSP .
Then I will show you how to append value "all_DBIDs" as a query string to next JSP.
In short
If the usl for next jsp is like "next_page.jsp"
then you can append the querystring linke this
next_page.jsp?dbids=<%=all_DBIDs%>
Now you can get the complete "all_DBIDs" on next page by using the code like this
