The best advice I can offer -- have a javascript that does the submit for you on the event the drop-down changes state. Then let a servlet handle storing your form data in the session and passing updated data to the next page. Outside of something like that, I think you'll need to incorporate a submit button.

Thanks for the answers Shakeel.

My problem is, i've a page that doesn't have submit
button. I need to send the hidden variables in that
HTML page to next HTML page. Here the hidden value is
set based on the type of option selected from 'select'
drpo down box in HTML. To put it in session, i need to
identify the selected option and assign it to java
varialbe. I don't think it's possible to assign a
javascript variable to java variable. Pls help to
solve this problem.

Wel this might help...

// You write following two lines in first JSP page.
String name = "Java";// This might be your hidden
field.
session.setAttribute("HiddenName", name);


//Then you get the name on next page as follows.

String userName =
(String)session.getAttribute("HiddenName");


The "name" attribute will be available throught the session life, unless we remove it explicitly or restart Tomcat. We can use it on any page once it is placed properly.

Sorry if it's not the right place to post this question. Excuse me.

I've some hidden variables in a web page. I want


to


send them to next page without using submit


button.


I
don't know how to do it. More over i don't know


how


to
access those variables in the next page. Is there
any
option available to do this html or tomcat or
apache?

Thanks!!

Ah-ha, somehow I changed a line in the
uriworkermap.properties file from
this (some pointless experiment out of past
frustrated delirium):
/jsp-examples/*=ajp13w
...to this:
/jsp-examples/*.jsp
...so changing it back (which is how it was
out-of-the-box after
jk_1.2.8.exe was run) to:
/jsp-examples/*=ajp13w
...fixes it, and I can now access both


directories


fine (inside and
outside of $CATALINA_HOME/webapps)!!!  YAY!!!

I now get the expected results for:
http://localhost/jsp-examples/ (the webapps/
examples page)
...and for:
http://localhost:8080/jsp-examples/ (the


webapps/


examples page)
...and for:
http://localhost:8080 (Tomcat home page)
...and for:
http://localhost (IIS home page)
...and for:
http://localhost/JSP/MYwebapps/MYjsp-examples
(the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\JSP\MYwebapps\ examples
page)
...and the .JSP pages work as expected in both
places!
Now I can add docabses to my heart's content -
*relieved sigh*

SO...the easy answer is a simple, single CONTEXT
addition, but making sure
to overlap the end of the "docbase" path with


the


"path":
<Context path="/JSP"
docbase="C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/JSP" debug="0"
        reloadable="true" crossContext="false" />

As an aside, I got rid of the <...path=""
docbase=""...> CONTEXT, so I
have no idea why you're using that line in your
server.xml file, Wendy?

THANKS, Wendy!!!

it


works, BUT if I try the

With or without the :8080 port in my URL, my

found just fine:



http://localhost/JSP/MYwebapps/MYjsp-examples/index.html


(and so on)


...so I have the inverse problem.
Good grief!  Can't we have both?

Here's the beginning of my HOST tag through


the

in server.xml is out-of-the-box, unless


jk_1.2.8.exe does anything here as


well):
