Hi, I will like to understand the dynamics behind retrieving form values when they are submitted.
I have the following code: Dashboard.html ----------------------- <body> <span wicket:id='mainNavigation'/> <form wicket:id="searchForm"> <label for="search">Search:</label> <input wicket:id="searchtextfield" type="text" /> <br /> <input type="submit"/> </form> </body> Dashboard.java ---------------------- public class Dashboard extends BasePage { private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(Dashboard.class.getName()); public Dashboard() { super (); final SearchForm searchForm = new SearchForm("searchForm"); add(searchForm); } public Dashboard(IModel model) { super(model); } private class SearchForm extends Form implements IFormSubmittingComponent { TextField searchtextfield; Search search = new Search(); public SearchForm(String id) { super(id); add(searchtextfield = new TextField("searchtextfield", new Model() { @Override public Serializable getObject() { return search.getText(); } @Override public void setObject(Serializable object) { search.setText((String) object); } })); } @Override public boolean getDefaultFormProcessing() { return false; } @Override public Form<?> getForm() { return this; } @Override public String getInputName() { return "searchtextfield"; } @Override public void onSubmit() { //String value = (String)searchtextfield.getModelObject(); String value = searchtextfield.getValue(); log.log(Level.INFO, "Search value is: ", value); // Using SolrJ to make the request to Solr String url = "http://localhost:8983/solr/"; try { // Connect to Solr Server SolrServer server = new CommonsHttpSolrServer(url); //server.query(null, METHOD.GET); SolrQuery solrQuery = new SolrQuery(value); QueryResponse response = server.query(solrQuery); // log the response log.log(Level.INFO, "Search result is: ", response.toString()); System.out.println("System print. Response is: " + response.toString()); } catch (MalformedURLException ex) { Logger.getLogger(Dashboard.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } catch(SolrServerException sse) { } } } } Search.java ----------------- public class Search { private String text; public Search() { } public Search(String text) { this.text = text; } public String getText() { return text; } public void setText(String text) { this.text = text; } } I really don't know what I'm doing wrong as I can't seem to be able to retrieve the value entered into the textfield. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks -- Odeyemi 'Kayode O. http://www.sinati.com. t: @charyorde
