external .js file from servlet 1

birney29 · Nov 6, 2001

im trying to use an external JavaScript file from a servlet. the javascript code works fine in the servlet so theres nothing wrong with that but when i try to use it externally, it gives an error saying no object. as though it cant find the .js file. the directory ect is fine. any ideas?

thanks

kenny

code :

import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class UIConfig extends HttpServlet {

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException {

res.setContentType("text/html&quot

;
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();

out.println("<html>&quot

;
out.println("<head>&quot

;
out.println("<title>&quot

;
out.println("UI config xml island test&quot

;
out.println("</title>&quot

;
out.println("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript SRC=UIConfig.js></script>&quot

;
// out.println("<script src=UIConfig.js></script>&quot

;
out.println("</head>&quot

;
out.println("<body onMouseMove=init() id=body>&quot

;
// out.println("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='javascript'>&quot

;
// out.println(" function init()&quot

;
// out.println(" {&quot

;
// out.println(" testXML.async = false;&quot

;
// out.println(" testXML.load('../xml/ui.xml');&quot

;
// out.println("&quot

;
// out.println(" formatUI(testXML);&quot

;
// out.println(" }&quot

;
// out.println(" function formatUI(testXML)&quot

;
// out.println(" {&quot

;
// out.println(" i = 0;&quot

;
// out.println(" itemElement = testXML.documentElement.childNodes.item(i);&quot

;
// out.println(" document.bgColor = itemElement.childNodes.item(0).childNodes.item(0).nodeValue;&quot

;
// out.println(" document.fgColor = itemElement.childNodes.item(1).childNodes.item(0).nodeValue;&quot

;
// out.println(" document.all.body.style.fontSize= itemElement.childNodes.item(2).childNodes.item(0).nodeValue;&quot

;
// out.println(" } &quot

;
// out.println("</script>&quot

;
out.println("<p>Some Text that should be large<p>&quot

;
out.println("</body>&quot

;
out.println("<xml id=testXML></xml>&quot

;
out.println("</html>&quot

;
}
}

I don't believe that a .js file behaves like an include file like you want it to. Go ahead and try an include file there instead. Like this.

Code:

import java.io.*; import javax.servlet.*; import javax.servlet.http.*; public class UIConfig extends HttpServlet { public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException { res.setContentType("text/html"); PrintWriter out = res.getWriter(); out.println("<html>"); out.println("<head>"); out.println("<title>"); out.println("UI config xml island test"); out.println("</title>"); out.println(""); // out.println("<script src=UIConfig.js></script>"); out.println("</head>"); out.println("<body onMouseMove=init() id=body>"); // out.println("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='javascript'>"); // out.println(" function init()"); // out.println(" {"); // out.println(" testXML.async = false;"); // out.println(" testXML.load('../xml/ui.xml');"); // out.println(""); // out.println(" formatUI(testXML);"); // out.println(" }"); // out.println(" function formatUI(testXML)"); // out.println(" {"); // out.println(" i = 0;"); // out.println(" itemElement = testXML.documentElement.childNodes.item(i);"); // out.println(" document.bgColor = itemElement.childNodes.item(0).childNodes.item(0).nodeValue;"); // out.println(" document.fgColor = itemElement.childNodes.item(1).childNodes.item(0).nodeValue;"); // out.println(" document.all.body.style.fontSize= itemElement.childNodes.item(2).childNodes.item(0).nodeValue;"); // out.println(" } "); // out.println("</script>"); out.println("<p>Some Text that should be large<p>"); out.println("</body>"); out.println("<xml id=testXML></xml>"); out.println("</html>"); } }

Now if you're already commenting out your JavaScript to hide from older browsers (like I do), then you'll need to close and re-open those comment tags like this.

Code:

out.println("//--><!--");
