      Hi!


      I want to store the return value of a javascript in a seam component, but i just don't know how to do this.


      Things like this don't work:


      <h:commandButton value="submit" action="#{mySeamComponent.store(javascript:getValue())}"/>


      Has anybody an idea?


      Thanks.


      Cheers Marcel

          Hi Marcel,


          You can go with reverse process.
          First call a javascript method and perform operation whatever is there in getValue(), and pass the result of getValue to Seam Component using seam remoting method.


          Check Seam Remoting...

            Hey


            Thanks for the reply.
            I try to do it the way you suggested.


            Now I'm facing a new problem...
            I added the @WebRemote annotation to the Java method and added


            <s:remote include="mySeamComponent" />


            to the xhtml file.
            When I try to call the method from my javascript function, i get this error (reported by firebug)
            "Error: mySeamComponent.myJavaMethod is not a function"


            I also copied the jboss-seam-remoting.jar into the EAR-Content\lib folder.


            Does anybody know a solution?


            Thanks.

              Another thing you can do is to use hidden fields where you can assign the javascript value.
              Take a look at this:




              <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
       xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
     <body>
          <script>
               function assignValue(){
                    var d = new Date();
                    document.getElementById("form1:hidden1").setAttribute("value",d);
               }
          </script>
          <h:form id="form1">
               <h:inputHidden id="hidden1" value="#{mySeamComponent.localTime}" />
               <h:commandButton action="#{mySeamComponent.showLocalTime}" value="Submit" onclick="javascript:assignValue()"/>
          </h:form>
     </body>
</html>



              MySeamComponent.java



              @Name("mySeamComponent")
public class MySeamComponent {
     private String localTime;
     
     public void showLocalTime(){
          System.out.println(localTime);
     }

     public String getLocalTime() {
          return localTime;
     }

     public void setLocalTime(String localTime) {
          this.localTime = localTime;
     }
}
