JavaWeb - Ajax (with three-level linkage cases of provinces, cities and districts)

1. Definitions

AJAX: asynchronous JavaScript and xml are not new programming. It refers to an interactive method, asynchronous loading, and the technology of interactive updating of data between client and server on local pages. There is no need to refresh the whole page (local refresh)

1.1 advantages

  • Local refresh, better effect
  • Better user experience

2. AJAX based on jQuery

2.1 grammar

$.ajax({attribute})

Common attribute parameters:

  • url: the requested back-end service address
  • Type: request type. The default is get
  • data: request parameters
  • dataType: the data type returned by the server, text/json
  • success: callback function for successful request
  • error: callback function for request failure
  • complete: the callback function that requests completion (it will be called back whether it succeeds or fails)

2.2 JSON

A lightweight data interaction format, which completes the conversion between object data of back-end development languages such as js and java
The transfer of object data between client and server requires JSON format

var user = {
	id:1,
	name:"Zhang San",
	score:96.5
}

Equivalent to in java

package entity;

public class User {
	private Integer id;
	private String name;
	private Double score;
	public Integer getId() {
		return id;
	}
	public void setId(Integer id) {
		this.id = id;
	}
	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}
	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}
	public Double getScore() {
		return score;
	}
	public void setScore(Double score) {
		this.score = score;
	}
	public User(Integer id, String name, Double score) {
		super();
		this.id = id;
		this.name = name;
		this.score = score;
	}
	
}

User user = new User(1,"Zhang San",96.5);

Convert java objects to json format

User user = new User(1,"Zhang San",96.0);
		//Convert java objects to json format
		resp.setCharacterEncoding("utf-8");
		JSONObject jsonObject = JSONObject.fromObject(user);
		resp.getWriter().write(jsonObject.toString());

2.3 cases

jsp

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8"
    pageEncoding="utf-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Insert title here</title>
<script type = "text/javascript" src = "js/jquery-3.0.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
/* $(function(){
	alert(123)
}) */
	 $(function(){
		var btn = $("#btn");
		btn.click(function(){
			//alert("button clicked")
			$.ajax({
				//Equivalent to < form action = "" >
				url:'testservlet',
				type:'get',
				data:'id=1',
				dataType:'text',
				success:function(data){
					//alert(data)
					var text = $("#text");
					text.before("<span>"+data+"</span><br>");
				}
			}); 
		});
	}) 
</script>
</head>
<body>
	<input id = text type = "text"><br>
	<input id = "btn" type = "button" value = "Submit"><br>
</body>
</html>

Note 1: you can't submit a request with a form. Instead, you can submit it with jQuery dynamic binding time.
Note 2: servlet cannot jump directly to jsp, but can only return data// When alert(data) calls this comment statement, you can see the result, which is the reason.

servlet

package bysj01;

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

@WebServlet("/testservlet")
public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet{

	@Override
	protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {
		String id = req.getParameter("id");
		try {
			Thread.sleep(30);
		} catch (InterruptedException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		String str = "Hello World";
		resp.getWriter().write(str);
//		req.setAttribute("str", str);
//		req.getRequestDispatcher("test.jsp").forward(req, resp);
	}
	
}

3. Traditional WEB data interaction VS AJAX data interaction

  • The client requests differently
    Traditional: browser sends synchronization request < form >, < a >
    AJAX: asynchronous engine objects send asynchronous requests
  • The server responds differently
    Traditional: respond to a complete jsp page (view)
    AJAX: corresponding data required
  • Different client processing methods
    Traditional: users need to wait for the server to complete the response and reload the whole page before they can carry out subsequent operations
    AJAX: dynamically update the local content of the page without affecting other operations of the user

4. AJAX principle

5. Three level linkage cases

5.1 case description

It is divided into three parts: Province, city and district
When you click Province, the city and district will update automatically


5.2 code

location.jsp

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8"
    pageEncoding="utf-8"%>

<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Insert title here</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-3.0.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	$(function(){
		//Modify Province
		$("#province").change(function(){
			var id= $(this).val();
			$.ajax({
				url:"location",
				type:"post",
				data:"id="+id+"&type=province",
				dataType:"JSON",
				success:function(data){
					console.log(data);
					var content = "";
					var cities = data.cities;
					console.log(cities);
					for(var i=0;i<cities.length;i++){
						content += "<option>"+cities[i]+"</option>";
					}
					$("#city").html(content);
					
					content = "";
					var areas = data.areas;
					console.log(areas);
					for(var i=0;i<areas.length;i++){
						content += "<option>"+areas[i]+"</option>";
					}
					$("#area").html(content); 
				}
			});
		});
