BTW it works If I replace the value attribute  :
<jbo:SetWhereClauseParam index="0" value="<c:out value='${param.Test}'/>" datasource="elem"/>
by this:
<jbo:SetWhereClauseParam index="0" value='<%=request.getParameter("Test")%>' datasource="elem"/>
but I want to use EL (expression language)!!!

 

by: karlsfrePosted on 2007-03-13 at 08:50:10ID: 18711262

Try this:

<jbo:SetWhereClauseParam index="0" value="${param.Test}" datasource="elem"/>

If that does not work, please attach the error message.

Nop, it doesn't work !! and there is no error message !!

 

by: karlsfrePosted on 2007-03-13 at 09:13:47ID: 18711515

So, in which way does it not work?

/Fred

 

by: DrAskePosted on 2007-03-13 at 09:19:18ID: 18711575

It seems bc4j tags doesn't support EL??? I guess.

 

by: karlsfrePosted on 2007-03-13 at 09:30:37ID: 18711697

What do you get back in the result set? Does it seem to do a search with an empty string, or does it seem to do a search for a string containing the text "param.Test"?

How do you know there is a problem?

 

by: DrAskePosted on 2007-03-13 at 09:36:05ID: 18711767

As I mentiond before it works If I use request.getParameter but it doesn't when using EL!!
using EL I get no data, but i get the result usring request object.

 

by: karlsfrePosted on 2007-03-13 at 10:21:33ID: 18712161

Ok DrAske,

Now we are getting somewhere, you hadn't mentioned before that you got no data, you just mentioned that it did not work, and that could for example mean that it returned all data instead of filtering on your parameter. Just trying to help you find out what is going wrong.

Just to confirm, do you get the right value in your test input field:
<input type="text" value="<c:out value="${param.Test}"/>"/>    <----- just for testing purpose

If you get the right value there, then there is a problem with the jbo tag that it does not evaluate the expression language, if you do not get the right value there, then there is a problem that the page is not evaluating the expression language.

 

by: DrAskePosted on 2007-03-13 at 10:27:10ID: 18712216

Sorry for not being clear enought.
>> Just to confirm, do you get the right value in your test input field:
yes I get the right value.

 

by: karlsfrePosted on 2007-03-13 at 10:32:31ID: 18712264

Have a look in the DataTags.tld file. You will see a definition of the SetWhereClauseParam tag. Could you copy and paste that whole definition here? I haven't been able to find a copy of the DataTags.tld file myself yet.

The tag should start something like this (an example from my own projects):
  <tag>
    <name>image</name>
    <tagclass>org.apache.taglibs.image.ImageTag</tagclass>
    <bodycontent>JSP</bodycontent>

When you are at it, copy the top from that .tld file as well. E.g.
  <tlibversion>1.0</tlibversion>
  <jspversion>1.1</jspversion>

<rtexprvalue> is set to true, which means it is OK to use EL!!

 

by: karlsfrePosted on 2007-03-14 at 02:29:23ID: 18717031

It would be interesting to know what value that is actually passed in through the parameter. Is it possible to change the select statement so that it says something like

"Select :0"

That should just return whatever value is passed in as the parameter. You can use that to see what value is passed in. Is it a null value that is passed in, is it an empty string, or is it actually the string "${param.Test}" that is passed in?
