how to read a form with JFS

[crispy]

hi all,
i have a simple form like this:

Code:

<h:form styleClass="form" id="registrationForm">
	<table>
		<tr>
			<td>Lastname:</td>
			<td><h:inputText id="lastname" value=""></h:inputText></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>Firstname:</td>
			<td><h:inputText id="firstname" value=""></h:inputText></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>Username:</td>
			<td><h:inputText id="username" value=""></h:inputText></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>E-Mail:</td>
			<td><h:inputText id="email" value=""></h:inputText></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td><br>
			</td>
			<td></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>Password:</td>
			<td><h:inputSecret id="password1" styleClass="inputSecret" value=""></h:inputSecret></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>Confirm Password:</td>
			<td><h:inputSecret id="" styleClass="inputSecret" value="test3t2"></h:inputSecret></td>
		</tr>
	</table>
	<br>
	<hx:commandExButton value="Submit"
				action="#{pc_Register.doRegistration}" styleClass="commandExButton"
				id="button1"></hx:commandExButton>
	<br>
</h:form>

now how can i get this data in my doRegistration() method?

when i do something like this
this.getRequestParam().values().toArray();

i get an array with all my data, but i'm sure there's a way to get a specific value, for example the username by something like getRequestParam().getParam('username'); or something similar.

thanks for any help!

Crispy,
What i understand is that, you want to get all your component values in the doRegisteration() method.For this you don't need to put any extra effort. Since all managed beans are POJO's you can use the instance variables directly in the instance method.
I'm also a junior in the JSF world and hope i'm not confusing you.Anyway i'm attaching a piece code that can give you a more clear picture on this.


public class UserBean
{
private String firstName;

/**
* @return
*/
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}

/**
* @param string
*/
public void setFirstName(String string) {
firstName = string;
}
public String registerUser() // your doRegistration method here
{
System.out.println("***ADDING REGISTERED USER ** ***"+firstName);
//You may add this user details to database or process in some other way, as usual
return "registered";
}

}

hi,

I am new to this forum, anyways, the solution to your problem:

In the "doRegistration" method of your bean, get the HttpServletRequest object as below:

HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)FacesContext.getCurrentInstanc e().getExternalContext().getRequest();

then,

use the below code to get the paramters of each of the "id":

String x = request.getParameter("registrationForm:lastname");

NOTE: The "colon" is very important. formid:component_id

Hope this definitely help you.
