I have a jsp with a file chooser. I need to take the 'src' of the image to a servlet.How to do this.
<img id="imgEventImage" src="img/Addmovie/ET000242281bb9.jpg" alt="your image"> <div class="ratingBox"> <div class="Add_TrailerMusic"> <div id="upFileImg" class="upld btn-imageUpload" style="margin-left: 28px;"> <span>Add Poster</span> <input id="selectfileImg" name="posterPath" class="uploadImg" style="color: transparent;"type="file"> </div>As far as I understand you want to pass parameter to the Servlet from the JSP by using JavaScript...
If so, then it may help.
Make a hidden field inside the form, for example:
<form name="formName" method="POST"> <!-- other fields --> <input type="hidden" name="hiddenFieldName" id="hiddenFieldId" value=""/> <input type="button" name="submitTheFormBtn" onclick="submitTheForm()"/> </form> Then submit the form to the server via JavaScript:
<script> function submitTheForm() { var imgSrcParam = document.getElementById("imgEventImage").src; document.getElementById("someFieldId").value = imgSrcParam; document.forms[formName].submit(); /*or give an id to the form you want to submit, then use document.getElementById("formId").submit()*/ } </script> In the Servlet you can get this parameter:
String imgSrcParam = request.getParameter("hiddenFieldName");
