Hi, Thank you all for guiding me to the solution especially "Numa" .. and this is how I solved it: for the .tml <p id="myId" data-mydata="testvalue"/>
and in the JS JQuery file, I passed the variable in a JSON object --> data: {myData:dataToSend} $('#myId').click(function() { var dataToSend= $('#myId').data('mydata'); ajax('answer', { element: $('#myId'), data:{ myData:dataToSend}, success: function(response) { } }); }); and in java file, I used @RequestParameter("myData") to get the value from the JSON object: @OnEvent("answer") @PublishEvent public void answer(@RequestParameter("myData") String varName) { System.out.println("Variable name is :"+ varName ); } Regards, Marwa On Tue, Aug 28, 2018 at 3:20 PM Numa Schmeder <n...@dfacto.ch> wrote: > Hello Marwa, > > The answer provided by Thiago is much simpler. > Just put your data in a data attribute of a tag and then use the tutorial > ajax and zones to send this data to a server side event handler. > If you want to do it automatically without triggering a javascript event, > just put you script in an on document ready event, to make sure your > javascript code is called once the page is rendered and loaded by the > browser. > > > ===> in html page > > <div id=“myId” data-mydata=“mydata"></div> > > ===> javascript at the end of html page > > $(function() { > var dataToSend = $(‘#myId’).data(‘mydata’); > ajax(‘pageData', { > data: dataToSend, // This doesn't need to be the > same element as the one two lines above > // Callback called when the request is finished. > // response.json is the object returned by the event handler > method > success: function(response) { > alert('sent to server'); > } > }); > }); > > > =====> in java page > > JSONObject onPageData() > { > return new JSONObject("origin", "componentAction"); > } > > > You can use jquery or something else. > > Best > Numa > > > > <http://www.dfacto.ch/> Numa Schmeder www.dfacto.ch < > http://www.dfacto.ch/> > n...@dfacto.ch <mailto:n...@dfacto.ch> | M +41 79 538 30 01 > > DIGITAL STRATEGY | DESIGN | DEVELOPMENT > > > > > > Le 28 août 2018 à 12:22, marwa hussein <marwa.huss...@gmail.com> a > écrit : > > > > Hello, > > > > Thanks all for your suggestions.
