只需让Servlet根据doGet()
方法中的请求参数以所需的格式返回所需的下拉选项。这是一个在Google Gson的帮助下以JSON格式返回的示例:
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
String type = request.getParameter("type"); // Returns "country" or "state".
String value = request.getParameter("value"); // Value of selected country or state.
Map<String, String> options = optionDAO.find(type, id); // Do your thing to obtain them from DB. Map key is option value and map value is option label.
String json = new Gson().toJson(options); // Convert Java object to JSON string.
response.setContentType("application/json"); // Inform client that you're returning JSON.
response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8"); // Important if you want world domination.
response.getWriter().write(json); // Write JSON string to response.
}
假设上述servlet映射到的url- pattern
上/options
,则可以在jQuery的帮助下,在以下JSP示例中使??用它。我建议使用jQuery,因为否则,此“简单”任务所需的JavaScript代码将达到10倍。
<%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>

$(document).ready(function() {
$('#country').change(function() { fillOptions('state'); });
$('#state').change(function() { fillOptions('city'); });
});
function fillOptions(dropdownId) {
var dropdown = $('#' + dropdownId);
$.getJSON('options?type=' + dropdownId + '&value=' + $(this).val(), function(opts) {
$('>option', dropdown).remove(); // Clean old options first.
if (opts) {
$.each(opts, function(key, value) {
dropdown.append($('<option/>').val(key).text(value));
});
} else {
dropdown.append($('<option/>').text('Please select ' + dropdownId));
}
});

在这里,我假设您已经 在servlet中预先将${countries}
其填充为Map<String, String>
,该servlet已对该JSP的请求进行了预处理以进行初始显示。
