Passing a variable from a jsp page to Java code and back to jsp page.
I am new to Java programming but I have some experience in programming.
<display:column titleKey="testOrder.voucher" width="110">
${testOrder.voucherNumber}
</display:column>
${testOrder.voucherNumber} prints a string made of a combination of letters and numbers (ABC1234).
I want a way to split the string ABC1234 and only print the number 1234 in the input box.
Also, I want the user to only be able to write numeric values in the input box.
Thanks for the help.
Re: Passing a variable from a jsp page to Java code and back to jsp page.
Just declare it. String x = " ";
String y = " ";
String z = " ";
Then write it out. So the results being z. You would re-type the method or formula in to split ABC and 1234 to give the results as...this would then be in jsp. And they're using probably html to mark up a page. I know C++ is similar to Java. But the same approach. This would be the conversion part. Write it in the program in Java.
Re: Passing a variable from a jsp page to Java code and back to jsp page.
To pass a variable from a JSP page to Java code and back to the JSP page, you can follow these steps:
1. In your JSP page, you already have `${testOrder.voucherNumber}` which prints a string like "ABC1234".
2. To split the string and extract only the numeric part (e.g., "1234"), you can use Java code within the JSP page.
3. You can create a JavaScript function to ensure that the user can only input numeric values into the input box.
Here's a sample solution:
```jsp
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://displaytag.sf.net" prefix="display" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Split Voucher Number</title>
<script>
function allowNumbersOnly(evt) {
var charCode = (evt.which) ? evt.which : event.keyCode;
if (charCode > 31 && (charCode < 48 || charCode > 57)) {
evt.preventDefault();
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<display:column titleKey="testOrder.voucher" width="110">
<c:set var="voucherNumber" value="${testOrder.voucherNumber}" />
<c:set var="numericPart" value="${voucherNumber.replaceAll('[^\\d]', '')}" />
<input type="text" id="numericInput" value="${numericPart}" onkeypress="allowNumbersOnly(event)" />
</display:column>
</body>
</html>
```
Explanation:
- The JSP page uses the JSTL library to perform operations.
- `${voucherNumber.replaceAll('[^\\d]', '')}` replaces all non-numeric characters in `${testOrder.voucherNumber}` with an empty string, effectively extracting only the numeric part.
- The JavaScript function `allowNumbersOnly(evt)` ensures that only numeric values can be entered into the input box.
This solution should fulfill your requirements of splitting the string and allowing only numeric values in the input box. If you need further assistance with your JSP assignment, feel free to explore additional resources available online like ProgrammingHomeworkHelp.com.
