Subject: Setting bean properties on a link with onclick
> I have a page "vendors.jsp" where (using a bean) I display a list of
vendors to choose from. This list of vendors is a list of hyperlinks that
the user can click. I want the user to click the link and then see the
parts that are associated with that vendor (vendorparts.jsp). My thought
was to use the HREF=vendorparts.jsp and also use the onclick method to set
the vendor number selected in the bean for the vendorparts.jsp to know whose
parts to display.
>
> my list of links (created by my bean) has items like this for the user to
choose:
> <A HREF=vendorparts.jsp ONCLICK="submit_onclick('0001234')">Janes
Plumbing</A>
> <A HREF=vendorparts.jsp ONCLICK="submit_onclick('0005678')">Joes
Plumbing</A>
>
> My problem is that I don't have a good way to set the bean value
(setVendor) before the page in the link is called. I want to accomplish it
with "xml style" setting the bean properties rather than mixing in alot of
"pure java".
>
> 1. If I try to use a "normal" java method, the submit_onclick method can
not be found.
> 2. If I try to use a function instead, I apparently can not pass a value
to the function.
> 3. I don't want to pass parms such as HREF=vendorparts.jsp?vendor=0001234
to prevent the user from looking at someone else's parts.
>
> Is there a better way to do this?
>
> Thanks in advance - and sorry for being so wordy.
