Simple java question...

[gbattine]

Hi guys,
please help me with this simple java question.
I'm developing a jsf application but i have a java question.
Suppose i have an authentication bean with 3 attributes,login,password
and team that load the values inserted in a login page.
In another bean i have a method that performs inserting an experiment
into a db.
My prepared statement is like...

pst2.setString(1, name);
pst2.setString(2, team);
pst2.setString(3, platform);
etc...

but i want name is the login attribute and team the team attribute of
authenticationBean.
How can i pass these values to my pst.2setString?

Please help me

Your "authentication bean with 3 attributes", say it's named auth, probably has
the means of aquireing such data. Either a public field or, more likely, a
getter of some sort. Like that: auth.name or auth.getName(). Stick that into
pst2.setString().

BTW: this is really basic stuff. You should do some RTFM on the subject (Java as
well as JSF).

I think he means that he wants to know how to use a backing bean in
another class. Although it's true that some RTFM would not be a bad
thing D). On topic, I use a static function to evaluate registered
javabeans (not my own idea). Create a class ViewUtils.java with this method:

public static Object eval(String expr) {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ValueBinding binding
= context.getApplication().createValueBinding(expr);
return binding.getValue(context);
}

noy you can retrieve a managed bean in any class by calling:
Object bean = ViewUtils.eval("#{managed_bean_name}");

thanks guys,
but my problem isn't resolved!
I've created this class

package giu;

import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.el.ValueBinding;

public class ViewUtils {
public static Object eval(String expr) {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ValueBinding binding
= context.getApplication().createValueBinding(expr);
return binding.getValue(context);
}
}

and in my experiment class i have the add method that is like(i post
the important code)


if (conn != null) {
Object bean = ViewUtils.eval("#{authenticationBean}");
PreparedStatement pst2 = null;
pst2 = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO
esperimento(username,nometeam,piattaforma,links_url,tipoesperimento,controlliqualita)
VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?)");
pst2.setString(1, bean.loginName);
pst2.setString(2, bean.teamName);
pst2.setString(3, platform);

....................................etc
where authenticationBean is the bean from which i want extracting
loginName and teamName fields..
my compiler says loginName and teamName can't be resolved...please help
me!!!

Now this is *really* basic stuff. How much experience do you have in
basic java programming? Anyway, you have to cast bean to the appropriate
class.

thanks,
but can you help me with code?
thanks

thanks,
but can you help me with code?
thanks

Just like: AuthenticationBean bean = (AuthenticationBean)
ViewUtils.eval("#{authenticationBean}");
