Sample code error - method getParameters

cliveswan · Jul 2, 2007

Hi,

I get an method getParameters error when running the sample code.
I looked for a org.javax.jar to import, could not find it??

Could anyone help to point out what is wrong.

Thanks

Clive

hi, correct method is getParameter, without final "s".

if you have multi values for a parameter (such us in checkbox), you
can use

String[] getParameterValues(String paramName)

Hi Stefano,

Thanks for pointing out the typo, really silly & annoying.

I corrected the typo still getting error (line 34, ; required??)

I understand sn1 = getParameter("Value0");

I do not understand the: String[] getParameterValues(String paramName)
How do you assign this??

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi,
suppose you have this in your form:
<input type="ceckbox" name="selectedColors" value="red"/>Red
<input type="ceckbox" name="selectedColors" value="yellow"/>Yellow
<input type="ceckbox" name="selectedColors" value="green"/>Green

in your jsp,

String[] colors= request.getParameterValues("selectedColors");
// colors have just colors user selected

Hi Stefano,

Noticed that I left out the System before out.println

I have amended the code, but am still getting an error >>> ; expected

I have pasted the revised code below.
PS thanks for your patience.

Hi Stefano,

Error, the System.out.println was within the <% %>, did not seem to
like that.

The JSP is creating website with drop-down listbox.
It prints out the System.out.println("Value is" roofTop);
Rather than the option selected in drop-down????

Thanks

Clive

A combobox is a single value parameter.
so, you have to recovery value with request.getParameter("yourCombo");

you have some confusion with jsp,
see SUN tutorial: http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/tutorial/doc/JSPIntro.htm
