problems with request.getparameter

04-18-2004

rosebud:
Hi, I am not sure if this is the right place to as jsp questions or
not.

But, I am having problem getting url parameters and need some
assistance. The followin code is a simple example of a getparmeter
request that is not working:

<html>
<head>
<title>AddressBook: Modifying Address <%= request.getParameter
("id")%>
</title>
</head>
</html>

I think there is a problem with initiating jsp because other calls do
not work either:

<html
<head>
<SCRIPT language="javascript">
</script>

</head>
<body>

Current time: <%= new java.util.Date() %>

</body>
</html>

Any help would be appreciated. I am able to use form/button calls
using: <SCRIPT id="clientEventHandlersJS" language="javascript">

I am a beginner with jsp. So, donot assume I know what you mean if
you submit partial coding.

Do you get some sort of error message? What is it that doesn't work?
Remember that getParameter can return null if the parameter is not in the
request.
Is your file a "jsp" file?
Have you installed your jsp in an appropriate "jsp/servlet container/runner/
web server" ? (Eg. Tomcat). Are you calling it correctly?

I am running the servlet on a server that is suppose to handle all
types of internet servelets. I am not the guy who does hosting.

The jsp is not part a jsp it is embeded in the html doc.

here are some examples:
<html>
<head>
<title>Passing title: <%request.getParameter ("id")%>
</title>
</head>
</html>

Where the url has www.?????.com?id=title name

another:
<html>
<head>
<title>Neighborhoods</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

or:
<html>
<head>
<title>Neighborhoods</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

where url has www.####.com?locale=saline

That should be <%= ... %>.

Again, that should be <%= ... %>. Also, I don't know who you expect to
interpret the  statement. It's not valid JSP, and
the web browser won't do anything with it.

I am not sure I follow you here. I am pretty sure your file has to have
"jsp" as its extension. Or if you are combining multiple files, then at
least the outer file has to be a jsp.

I any case, why don't you try to install Tomcat, and experiment for
yourself?

Here are two jsps, one which sends a request parameter to the other:

test.jsp:
<html>
<head>
<title>
A JSP TEst
</title>
</head>
<body>
Hello!<br>
<%= "Hello again" %> <br>
<a href="test_02.jsp?my_param=hi there">click here</a>
</body>
</html>

test_02.jsp:
<html>
<head>
<title>
A JSP TEst 02
</title>
</head>
<body>
Hello from JSP 02<br>
You sent: <%= request.getParameter( "my_param" ) %>
</body>
</html>
