Re: Send data from CSJS to SSJS

I am doing what you are describing. I generate an HTML table that includes checkboxes for each row. On selection (or for all of them if the top checkbox is selected) the UNIDs for the documents are written to a hidden field.

When the next action is performed, the value of the field is read and then used in a bean, in my case, but could also be thrown into a scoped variable.

var x=getComponent("inputText1").getValue();

Another thought...just bind the hidden input to a scoped variable.

Re: Send data from CSJS to SSJS

I must be doing something wrong because I have tried something similar to what you have described, but no luck.

So I have a hidden input with the following code on my Xpage:

<xp:inputHidden id="inputHidden1"

value="#{javascript:sessionScope.analysisData}"

binding="#{javascript:sessionScope.analysisData}">

</xp:inputHidden>

Then I have a generate analysis button that calls functions in a CSJS script libary to generate an analysis table.

the last two lines run by this code are:

document.getElementById("view:_id1:inputHidden1").innerHTML = exportData; //exportData is a string

alert(document.getElementById("view:_id1:inputHidden1").innerHTML);

Note, I have tried .value as well as .innerHTML. The alert works and displays the data correctly. I can't embed SSJS to get the field id here as that doesn't seem to work in CSJS script libraries.

Then i have my export button:

<xp:button value="Export to Excel" id="button2">

<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true" refreshMode="complete" immediate="false" save="false">

<xp:this.action>

<xp:actionGroup>

<xp:executeScript>

<xp:this.script><![CDATA[#{javascript:

print("inputhidden:");

print(getComponent("inputHidden1").getValue()); //This prints null

print("analysisData");

print(sessionScope.analysisData); //This prints null

//sessionScope.analysisData = getComponent("inputHidden1").getValue();}]]></xp:this.script>

</xp:executeScript>

<xp:actionGroup>

<xp:this.condition><![CDATA[#{javascript:

sessionScope.containsKey("analysisData");}]]></xp:this.condition>

<xp:openPage name="Export.xsp"></xp:openPage>

</xp:actionGroup>

</xp:this.action></xp:eventHandler></xp:button>

Can you see what I might have done wrong?

Re: Send data from CSJS to SSJS

It would appear the issue was with my data binding for the hidden input field.

On the data tab for the field properties, i had simply select "Javascript" and typed "sessionScope.analysisData" into the script box.

This does not work. To bind the field correctly I needed to select "Advanced", change the drop down to "Use Scoped Variable" and then select sessionScope and provide the variable name.

Thanks for trying to help Russell.

Re: Send data from CSJS to SSJS

Just to note your hardcoding the full id of the hidden input in the CSJS, this is not necessary you can use the below to generate it:

document.getElementById("#{id:inputHidden1}");
