groovy in javascript

[Deepa Mandal]

Hi,
Can we set the value of parameter from javascript to groovy?

Thanks & Regards

If I am getting you right, you want to get the http parameter to groovy,
then groovy gives you access to request object,
request.getParameter("YOUR_PARAMETER") should work

hmm .. I don't know what you are looking for, anyway's I will give a try ..

I guess the parameter you want in groovy in is javascript, don't know how it
got there :), what you can do is set that parameter to a hidden field from
javascript and then access it in groovy from the request object.

I hope this help ....

Hi,

I did some search on the old archives, it mentioned this can't be done. but
that was back in 2004, Just wondering if things have been changed since then
?

Thanks much.

Hi Deepa,

I think you are missing some thing here. Groovy is server side scripting
whereas JavaScript is client side. How can you set a parameter from JS
to Groovy while to scripts are running in to different environment. May
be you want to set a request parameter with the help of JS and want to
collect it on the Groovy script. You have different way of passing
parameters to request, part of URL query string of a get request, hidden
form fields while using post.

It would be better if you explain the problem and may be someone tell
you a better way of doing it.

Thanks,

Raj

Hello Raj Sir,

Following is my problem:
I have a drop down in a form and upon selecting a value from this drop down
I have to send contactMechId of that particular value to the included ftl in
the form and *without submitting the form*. If I set the contactMechId in
groovy or in request then I can get this in the included ftl, please suggest
other way through which I can get the contactMechId in groovy or in request.

Hi Deepa,

I am not sure if I understood well what you are trying to achieve. You
have a drop down. Value selected in the drop down will go as a form
field once you submit the form. This value can be collected in the
Groovy script. I do not see a way how you can get some thing in Groovy
script without submitting the form. If you want to do some thing on
selection of drop down, you can use JavaScript events such as onChange
and then you can fire a Ajax request whenever value of the drop down
changes.

Thanks,

Raj

Hi Zhibin,

Delete feature is lil. bit in secure(unfortunate delete will impact more on
business). May be because of this reason, delete action for catalog and
category was not provided from years.

if you want to delete, write a stored procedure to delete catalog/category.
Otherwise, expire them to maintain it as historical data(sometimes, it is
important in ecommerce industry to maintain historical data.).

Hi Kumaraswamy,

Thanks a lot for the feedback, the information you provide is very helpful.
I just tried to clean up some demo and test data before moving into
production. But that's not absolutely necessary I guess.

Best regards,
Zhibin

Zhibin,

Actually it's a recurring problem and I begin to wonder if we should not try to provide some help at least to delete orders,
invoices, payments and all related entities created just after a setup to verify that all is working correctly. This of course
without having to reset all the DB (the records - tuples actually - created being there just for the purpose of testing the DB
setup)
I guess we have all been in this situation  : clients like to see some results before going in production...

Some SQL scripts could be attached to http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBENDUSER/Apache+OFBiz+Business+Setup+Guide
Or why not, even better, some specific services created, opinions ?

Hey Jacques, Your comment is really interesting. Each time we want to
run tests with a fresh OFBiz, we have to reset the database, and for
this we run a custom install-seed-initial method which takes time. So
it would be great to have a way to "reset" the database in live and so
to be able to run tests without restarting and reinitializing OFBiz.
It's kind of extension of your proposition to have quick delete for
orders test data.

Hi Jacques:
This is something I tried to get the group to look at doing a long time
ago. As you said, its about testing and then cleaning up test data. I
got a lot of push back based on the "auditing" argument. The result: Now
as I'm learning how to use various parts of the data model - or building
my own entities - I build data deletion tools along side my other code.
It really helps me to understand the relationships between all the
entities in use and I get my data cleaned up in the process.

A while back I started writing an Entity Engine cook book with examples
of how to do just this along with lots of other goodies...but then you
guys went and deprecated all my favorite EE APIs, so now I'm back to
square one on that idea :-(

So, to answer you question: yes! I think its a great idea.

Regards,
Ruth

Thanks again all for the comment. It would be great if we could add the
delete functions. In terms of "auditing", if we could audit the "delete"
actions as well, it should be non-issue then.
