Where is the user selecting the value. If it is form element then you can
send to servlet.
You can send to servlet A or B. It depends on the value of action element in
the form.
If you want to pass a value from javascript to servlet then assign that
value to a hidden form element.

Subject: Re: passing valuees from javascript to servlets
Hi Andras/Pradeep,
Thanks for the help.
My problem is a little bit more complicated.
I am able to pass values from a HTML element to a Servlet.
My problem is that based on that value I want to fire a query on a table.
Let me further expalin the problem.
Upon clicking a HTML link(or button), a servlet is called(A), which fires a
select query on a table
select category_description from category_master
The result of this query is formatted into an html page and sent back
to browser.Now the user selects a particular category and presses
submit/next(whatever).This results in a call to another servlet(B) or
the same servlet(A,how..?) which in turn fires another query
select product_name from product_master where category_code=xxxxxx
This 'xxxxxxx' is something which should correspond to the category selected
by the user in the previously generated html page(by servlet A).
I was thinking of making it possible through javascript but couldn't find a
solution.
hope this clears the idea.
help is immidiately needed.
thanks
manoj
