Hi,
I didn't understand all of ur question. but i got the impression
that u simply don't want to display the vendor number in the
address bar.
i might be wrong, do correct me if i am, but here's my
suggestion:
i think u could do put the links within a form with a hidden field
called vendornumber. using javascript and onClick, set the value
of this field and then do a form.submit(). Let the actual HREF
value be some dummy "#" or something.
From what i figured, u'r trying to set the value of a server-side
bean using client-side javascript. I don't think this is possible.
If it is, pls tell me how.
You *could* do it differently, with more effort, which i find
unnecessary: u could use javascript to open a
vendornumber.jsp?number=01234 file in a different frame. Then
you'll have to use some kind of checks on the server side to see
whether the value of the bean has been set, and to proceed only if
it has.
I didn't understand what u said about xml-style and pure java.
cheers
