RE: Forms? -- JAVA400-L

Ron

Presumably you have a static HTML page, or a program where you enter the
customer id, and you want to retrieve the customer details.

BulkGarbage/LoadCust is just a URL, that will be configured in your web
server to point to something.

That something will either be a static html page, or some process that will
execute some code and return some html output.

That process could be one of many, java/jsp, perl, php, RPG-CGI, net.data.

Really depends what your using in your environment. If you have websphere
its likely to be java/jsp, if not net.data or RPG-CGI. If your not web
serving from a 400, then its likely to be perl,php or asp these days.

If its java/jsp, heres some good tutorials on getting started with that, 
http://courses.coreservlets.com/Course-Materials/, 
and if your using WDSC there are some wizards, and a fair bit of
documentation in the help to get you started

Subject: Forms?


Does anyone have any examples of sending data to a form and getting data 
back from the form using java, jsp, and what not?  Basically, I was told 
here by a developer who's waaaay busy now, and doesn't have time to go 
thru it further until tomorrow that in my application where I have a bunch 
of properties loading to a left pane, I want it to be clicked link like:
http://localhost:9080/BulkGarbage/LoadCust?custId=0900000000000100000001
That should invoke either a jsp, or a java program to go to the database, 
retrieve the record for that custId and show it on a forms page.  I know 
what I have to do, but I'm completely lost in how to do it.  Should 
LoadCust be a java program?  A jsp?  And how does it know what I'm sending 
it?  I'm sure once I get over that hurdle I'll be fine.  Plus, do I build 
my form using HTML, or should it be built by the jsp?  At any rate, thanks 
in advance.
