input type hidden variable of type arraylist

input type hidden has got something to do with html and ArrayList is a java class, what is the relationship between these two?

Hi Vina,
Still your question is confusing. Is your ArrayList is in JSP?? And you want to send that to the Servlet??

If that is the case, you can not send that ArrayList object to servlet in normal way. Because, once the jsp file is generated and sends to the browser, the server will not have access to the Java objects available in jsp. What you can do is keep the value in a session variable and update it as required.

Hi
Thanks foe your response i am not trying for javascript i want it in java class only

  
<%
   
//'Calendar loop

    
	int currDay;
	String todayColor;
	int count = 1;
	//ArrayList disp= new ArrayList();
	int dispDay = 1;
	 String disp = ""; 


	for (int w = 1; w < 7; w++)
	{
%>
  	
<% 
  		for (int d = 1; d < 8; d++)
		{
			if (! (count >= cal.get(c.DAY_OF_WEEK)))
			{ 

%>
		
<%
				count += 1;
			} 
			else
			{

				if (isDate ( currMonth + 1, dispDay, currYear) ) // use the isDate method
				
				{ 
                       
					if ( dispDay == c.get(c.DAY_OF_MONTH) && c.get(c.MONTH) == cal.get(cal.MONTH) && c.get(c.YEAR) == cal.get(cal.YEAR)) // Here we check to see if the current day is today
        				{
							todayColor = "skyblue";
						}
						else
						{
							todayColor = "#ffffff";
						}
						//out.println("dates are"+dispDay);
						
%> 
<%=dispDay%>
<%
 
disp = Integer.toString(dispDay);

 System.out.println("dates are"+disp);
%>

<%
					count += 1;
					dispDay += 1;%>
		<jsp:useBean id="barChart" class="com.cewolf.Barchart">
<jsp:setProperty name="barChart" property="advid" value="770" />
<jsp:setProperty name="barChart" property="currMonth" value="<%=currMonth%>" />

 
<jsp:setProperty name="barChartView" property="disp" value="<%=disp %>" />
 
</jsp:useBean>
<jsp:getProperty name="barChartView" property="advid"/>
<jsp:getProperty name="barChartView" property="currMonth"/>  
<jsp:getProperty name="barChartView" property="disp"/>
  			
					
					
		<%	}%>
 
	
<%          
				 
			}

       } 
%>
  	
<% 
}
%>

  

This is my jsp code and below is my javabean file

 
public class Barchart implements DatasetProducer, Serializable {
	public Barchart() {}
 private String disp ;
	

	
	
	public String getDisp() {
		System.out.println("getDisp");
		return disp;
	}

	public void setDisp(String disp) {
		System.out.println("setDisp");
		this.disp = disp; 
		
	}
	
	private int currMonth;
	

	public int getCurrMonth() {
		return currMonth;
	}

	public void setCurrMonth(int currMonth) {
		this.currMonth = currMonth;
	}
	
	
	private int advid;
	
	
	
	public int getAdvid() {
		return advid;
	}
	
	public void setAdvid(int advid) {
		this.advid = advid;
	}
		}   

now my problem is with dispDay field actually it gives dates of current month but it is giving only one value so for the dateDisp i want to set array list please suggest me to solve this problem
Thanks in advance.

//ArrayList disp= new ArrayList();

Uncomment this block and comment the following line

vina kum wrote:
String disp = "";

Now, instead of assigning the value in "dispDay" to "disp" like;

vina kum wrote:
disp = Integer.toString(dispDay);

Add the value in "dispDay" to "disp" ArrayList object like;
disp.add(Integer.toString(dispDay));

Now, in the Barchart class, change the type for the variable, "disp", from "String" to "ArrayList";

vina kum wrote:
public class Barchart implements DatasetProducer, Serializable {
public Barchart() {}
private String disp ;

public String getDisp() {
System.out.println("getDisp");
return disp;
}

public void setDisp(String disp) {
System.out.println("setDisp");
this.disp = disp;

}

Now, check with the modifications, and let me know if any problems occured.

Hi
Thanks for your suggestion but it's not getting it is taking only '1' for whole month i.e., not incrementing date value any suggestions please.
Thanks in advance

[Keerthi Sagar]

Hi Vina,
I just given some broad idea, and it is a bit difficult to identify without knowing the declaration details of the variables "c", "cal" and the method details of isDate(). I don't know whether you are using any exisiting utility or it is a custom method. If isDate() is a custom method, please provide the details of that.

Hi sagar thanks for your reply i am dgiving the output of my code please see and verify how to increment the date value

1 670 6 [1] 2 670 6 [1] 3 670 6 [1] 4 670 6 [1] 5 670 6 [1] 6 670 6 [1] 7 670 6 [1] 8 670 6 [1] 9 670 6 [1] 10 670 6 [1] 11 670 6 [1] 12 670 6 [1] 13 670 6 [1] 14 670 6 [1] 15 670 6 [1] 16 670 6 [1] 17 670 6 [1] 18 670 6 [1] 19 670 6 [1] 20 670 6 [1] 21 670 6 [1] 22 670 6 [1] 23 670 6 [1] 24 670 6 [1] 25 670 6 [1] 26 670 6 [1] 27 670 6 [1] 28 670 6 [1] 29 670 6 [1] 30 670 6 [1] 31 670 6 [1] 
    

In this code first four values are '1' dispDay value,'670','6' use bean value, and the last [1] is the array list value i am getting and the rest are getting by using for loop so here the problem is arraylist value is not incrementing. Any suggestions please
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vina,
Can you place the complete code again, including the Bean class and the declaration details of the variables "c", "cal" and the method details of isDate(). ?

I sent you a private message with my GTalk ID. Check it and ping me. I hope it would be easier to discuss.

Hi Vina,
Put the <jsp:useBean> tag out side the forloop like;
====
<jsp:useBean id="barChart" class="com.cewolf.Barchart">
<% for (int d = 1; d < 8; d++)
====
And also put the closing tag </jsp:useBean> out side the forloop
