I am wondering if there is a way to call a JSP page from a focexec and interprets its return code. Few lines of sample code would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You can call a JSP page like you would call an HTML page. In that JSP page, depending on the "return code" you could branch to a WebFOCUS program.

Francis,

Would you please show some sample code to call a JSP Page from a .fex procedure and "Analyze" the Text Stream?

Thanks.

I wanted to call JSP (Servlet) Page (which may or may not be on the same WebSerever as WebFocus)
to generate graphs. Then based on the results of the JSP (Servlet), the WebFocus .FEX Procedure
analyzes the HTML Code and write out the custom HTML Tags.

The process will need to do something like the following:

-* a .FEX Procedure is called

-* The .FEX Procedure calls the JSP / Servlet Page
objectxxxJsp = Navigate("http://myserver.mycompany.com/jspgraphPage.jsp?graphParm1=..&....");

-* Suppose the JSP Page generated some HTML Code like:
--
--
....


-* QUESTION **;
-* 1) What is the FEX syntax to call the JSP Page (as the Navigate line)?

I wanted to see some working example code so that I understand how to call a JSP (or any other webpage) within a FEX.

-* 2) Is there any way to examine all the HTML Tags inside the objectxxxJsp object when the .FEX is being executed?

-* 3) Is there any way to re-write the contents of the above " ..." back into the WebFocus HTML Page, while the .FEX is being executed?

Thanks.

Zhi
