Can anyone tell me how to pass JavaScript values to Scriptlet in JSP?
399
I can provide two ways,
a.jsp,
<html>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function call(){
var name = "xyz";
window.location.replace("a.jsp?name="+name);
}
</script>
<input type="button" value="Get" onclick='call()'>
<%
String name=request.getParameter("name");
if(name!=null){
out.println(name);
}
%>
</html>
b.jsp,
<script>
var v="xyz";
</script>
<%
String st="<script>document.writeln(v)</script>";
out.println("value="+st);
%>
Your javascript values are client-side, your scriptlet is running server-side. So if you want to use your javascript variables in a scriptlet, you will need to submit them.
To achieve this, either store them in input fields and submit a form, or perform an ajax request. I suggest you look into JQuery for this.

simple, you can't!
JSP is server side, javascript is client side meaning at the time the javascript is evaluated there is no more 'jsp code'.

I've interpreted this question as:
"Can anyone tell me how to pass values for JavaScript for use in a JSP?"
If that's the case, this HTML file would pass a server-calculated variable to a JavaScript in a JSP.
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var serverInfo = "<%=getServletContext().getServerInfo()%>";
alert("Server information " + serverInfo);
</script>
</body>
</html>
