Hi Guys, Thanks for replying. we are trying to acheive this problem by avoiding javascript and scriplets as much as possible. Let me explian our scenario:
We have a JSP page lets call it page 'A' in which we have 3 fields LastName, FirstName and MiddleName. We also have a link for search on this page. We have option that user can enter first few letters of the last name and search for the person using search link. We wanted to open a new window lets call it 'B' and display the names found on the basis of user input. Now when user double clicks on one name in child window 'B', that name will be displayed back on to the parent window i.e. 'A' in the appropriate fields. We are using following approach for the above scenario: we have 2 JSP's and 2 formbeans associated to that JSPs. Now when user enters first few letters of the LastName on parent form 'A' and clicks search link, we submit itself i.e. parent Form. We also have one flag in parent form ,apart from other attributes, whose value is "false" by default. In action (We use DispatchAction) we create instance of child form 'B' and set the attributes for query into it and put that into session. We make the flag in parent form equal to "true" and forward the mapping to itself. Now in parent JSP we use logic tag to check the value of that flag, if it is true then we call a javascript function to open a child window 'B'. Now in child 'B' JSP onload we submit itself i.e. Child Form with action equal to 'search'. In search method in action class of child form we talk to the business delegate and call the method to get the results for the user input, which is present in the child form bean, since we set that from parent and put it in session. Now after we get the possible matches on the basis of user input from business we forward the mapping to same page i.e child jsp. Now when user double clicks the one value from the list, we submit child form itself with action equal to selectPerson. In this method we get the parent form from the session and set the appropriate values in LastName, FirstName and MiddleName from the selected value and set the flag in parentform equal to "false". Then thru javascript in child JSP we are reloading the parent and closing the child window. This doesn't reload the parent window with new values in the formbean, which is being set in child action. We checked the session using debugger and we found that values in the parent form are being updated by child action correctly. Questions: 1) Does location.realod()[in javascript] flush the new values set in the session ? 2) What is the best way to refresh or submit the parent from child? 3) Is there any better way to solve this (By avoiding use of javascript and scriplets as much as possible)? Sorry for long Email. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Samip __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
