AJAX is not a programming language. AJAX just uses a combination of: A browser built-in XMLHttpRequest object (to request data from a web server) JavaScript and HTML DOM (to display or use the data)
AJAX allows web pages to be updated asynchronously by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes. This means that it is possible to update parts of a web page, without reloading the whole page. Classic web pages, (which do not use AJAX) must reload the entire page if the content should change.
While learning about the low-level functionality of Ajax, you build a simple application that employs auto-completion in a text field. Content here has been adapted from Greg Murray's article and sample application from Using Ajax with Java Technology. Ajax stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML.
I am trying to learn AJAX with JSP and I have written the following code. This does not seem to be working. Kindly help:
This is my configuration_page.jsp
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>JSP Page</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function loadXMLDoc()
{
var xmlhttp;
var config=document.getElementById('configselect').value;
var url="get_configuration.jsp";
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET", url, true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h2 align="center">Saved Configurations</h2>
Choose a configuration to run:
<select name="configselect" width="10">
<option selected value="select">select</option>
<option value="Config1">config1</option>
<option value="Config2">config2</option>
<option value="Config3">config3</option>
</select>
<button type="button" onclick='loadXMLDoc()'> Submit </button>
<div id="myDiv">
<h4>Get data here</h4>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This is my get_configuration.jsp which I am trying to access from the AJAX code above:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>JSP Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h4>Mee..</h4>
</body>
</html>
