passing xml to jsp/java

[shravan kodam]

Hello All,

I have the JS function which i connect to a .dll's and get back XML String. I want to pass this xml to my java/jsp. I am guessing that i can do it with AJAX.

here is what i am trying to do:

 
script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var xmlHttp;
 
function createXMLHttpRequest() {
if (window.ActiveXObject) {
xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
else if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
}
 
function doRequestUsingPOST() {
createXMLHttpRequest();
var url = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><navistor><data request='test'><rows><row store='350' storeident='2560' division='001' state='MA' city='woburn' phone='978-547-9000'/><row store='350' storeident='2560' division='001' state='MA' city='woburn' phone='978-547-9000'/></rows></data></navistor>";
var QueryURL = "test="+url;
alert(QueryURL);
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = handleStateChange;
xmlHttp.open("POST", url, true);
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xmlHttp.send(url);
}
 
function handleStateChange() {
alert('Ready status:'+xmlHttp.readyState);
alert('Status:'+xmlHttp.status);
if(xmlHttp.readyState == 4) {
if(xmlHttp.status == 200) {
alert('handleStateChange:');
parseResults(xmlHttp.responseText);
}
}
}
 
function parseResults(output) {
alert('parseResults o/p:'+output);
var xmloutput = output;
var objXML = new ActiveXObject("MSXML.DOMDocument");
objXML.async = false;
objXML.loadXML(output);
alert(output);
var rows = objXML.selectNodes("//row");
alert(rows.length);
}
 

The problem here is:. I am not able to get into (xmlHttp.status == 200) it is failing here and when i remove this 'if' stmt and try i am getting an alert stmt with all junk. Please help me in solving this issue.

I am open to any ways to pass xml from javascript to java/jsp . It is not like I will have to use only this method. If i am wrong please suggest me some suitable method.

Thank you...
