weblingo and Request Handler

Hi,

I am new to Oscript development. I am working on one requirenment where I am fetching some form table values from db table using query, which I have written in request hadler and using that in my weblinfo(fhtml) file. Now, I want to submit the form with filled data(form fields) and put down in another custom created DB table.

Can you please suggest how I can do that? SHould I create new request handler where I will write my insertquery and can I call this request handler on the form submit button , if yes, How we can do that?

IF posible can some one give me one example or documentation of this part.

Best Regards,

Anjali

Most of your questions center around "what tool should I use" .The reason why Oscript does not have free "Hello World" sites is because a)not too many people use OpenText Livelink b)the using population has so many other ways of getting their work done c)OT has a services division where they can charge for this service d )improperly written oscript can hamper OT's offering a fact stressed by OT sales and marketing to get more and more code written by services

so most companies develop cold feet immediately.

Having said that if you create a Form Template and create a aesthetically pleasing form ,you can insert it into any table that is your OOB options. The Functional links can be trapped by Fiddler and if you don't like "Edit" and "List" coming form OT you can use Jquery to dress it up

Oscript since 10.5 is programmed using CSIDE this is its forum

https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/cs.dll?func=ll&objId=42203362&objAction=view

The old kind that I trained with is called Builder most of the old code and procedures do work in the new paradigm.

This is the full offline documentation as the new eclipse willw ant internet to show you help

https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll?func=ll&objId=67792949&objAction=browse&viewType=1

if this link does not work then you may not be licensed for the SDK.

The typical "Hello World" or self studying OScripter goes thru the (in)famous "AddressBook Example" the link gives you something I made to work for 10 or 10.5 dont remember frankly

If you have access to the old builder documentation a new programmer gets to see the Objects,its life cycles etc very clearly.It was very good and there were intricate details that would throw you off

The OT Class takes you through a similar exercise called the "Contacts" it should be in the new documentation if not try to get it from somewhere

Now to help you out if one was to do this

You will need a shell of a module installed and working
You will "Orphan" a Request Handler and make it .fenabled and funcprefix and write a echo statement in its Execute method.These are the bare minimum steps
You will test this RH to see your Echo.
package TEST
public object mytestrh inherits WEBDSP::RequestHandler
override Boolean fEnabled = TRUE
override Dynamic fFuncPrefix="test"
/*
* This is the method subclasses implement to provide their functionality.
*
* @param {Dynamic} ctxIn
* @param {Dynamic} ctxOut
* @param {Record} request
*
* @param {Dynamic} Undefined
*/
override function Dynamic Execute( \
Dynamic ctxIn, \
Dynamic ctxOut, \
Record request )
echo("*********************************************************")
echo("Hello World")
echo("************************************")
return Undefined
end
end

Then you will need to know how to output this in Browser rather than Console.To which you will add a simple html file to the html folder of your module and not in the CODE or oscript side as you may think.

Inside that you should try to understand the significance of the Response object which came form the Request.

So think of this dummy HTML file as your submission Form,input fields give to you as a Record so you can pick what to use

Once you understand all of that explore the concept of PrgCtx,CAPI objects and DBWIZAPI take baby steps and you will succeed.

And hopefully you will continue to do Oscript and learn it form Ot or through work

which ain't bad,which ain't difficult and which ain't upgrade problematic

BTW the Programmers of OT as wella s 3rd party are very helpful and will guide you through any problems

but may not extend help to a complete novice:)

The typical pattern is exactly as you describe. A request handler grabs some information, presents it on an html page (via weblingo), the user modifies it, submits the page, and another request handler is called to perform the update. If you look in other modules you will see how OT does this. For example, Collections has a request handler named CollectAllSearchResults, which calls the searchcollectallresults.html weblingo file, which calls the request handler CollectAllSearchReults2, which does whatever it does. There are tons of examples of this in most OT modules...just look for requestHandlerName and requestHandlerName2.

Cheers...
