setOnClientClick

Posted on Dec 02, 2004 at 10:09 AM 15 Views

Hello,

I have in a doProcessBeforeOutput the code:

String url = myProfile.getProperty("url").toString();

String navigationAction = "EPCM.doNavigate('" + url + "',0)";

Button myButton = (Button) getComponentByName("ButtonSearch");

<b> myButton.setOnClientClick(navigationAction);</b>

at the bolded line I get "java.lang.NullPointerException"

Thanks for any feedback

Regards,

Altafin

    Hi Altafin,

    as I know, the getComponentByName will only be something (not null) if your current request is issued from an HTMLB iView which had a button with id 'ButtonSearch'. (Typical form handling). This way you'll get something alike the button that was created in the previous request.

      Hello Armin,

      I have an jsp file like

      ......

      ......

      ......

      <hbj:button

      id="ButtonSearch"

      text="Search"

      width="50px"

      tooltip="Click here to search"

      onClick="onClick"

      disabled="false"

      design="STANDARD"

      />

      </hbj:button>

      .....

      .....

      .....

      and a JSPDyn page as te following:

      .....

      .....

      public void doProcessBeforeOutput() throws PageException

      {

      setJspName("my.jsp");

      }

      ....

      ....

      public void onClick(Event event) throws PageException

      {

      ...

      ...

      ...

      String url = myProfile.getProperty("url").toString();

      String navigationAction = "EPCM.doNavigate('" + url + "',0)";

      Button button = (Button) this.getComponentByName("ButtonSearch");

      <b>button.setOnClientClick(navigationAction);</b>....

      ....

      ....

      }

      So, the bolded line is not working.

      Regards,

      Altafin

    Hi Altafin,

    looks like you want to <u>create</u> a button...

    So how about:

    Button button = new Button("ButtonSearch", "ButtonSearch");

    button.setOnClientClick(navigationAction);

    getComponentByName(..) is used in doProcessAfterInput to get a component out of the pagecontext. An example is reading the value of an input field:

    InputField myInputField = (InputField) getComponentByName("USER_NAME");

    if (myInputField != null) {

    this.name = myInputField.getValueAsDataType().toString();

    }
