hi, I think this should work: #set($j = $request.formval) Vito V. Harikrishnan Nair wrote:
Hello again !
I want to take a string entered into a textbox and place it into a MySQL db (which is not XWiki's RDB). For that I created a simple form shown below -
<form action = "VelocityTest2" method = "get" > <input type = "text" name = "formval"> <input type = "submit" value = "submit"> </form>
This is the velocity page (named VelocityTest2) which is supposed to parse the string entered into the text box -
#set($groovyObject = $xwiki.parseGroovyFromPage("Amrita IIS.GroovyTest4")) #set($j = $Request.getParameterValues('formval')) $groovyObject.SQL_conn($j)
A Groovy page (named GroovyTest4) takes that string and enters it into the MySQL db with the SQL_conn() function and I'm positive that my groovy code works.
My problem is that the string is not being parsed from the textbox into the Velocity page. I am getting a null value instead.
Thanks, Harikrishnan
