parameter passed with the Smartclient URL

Classic Servoy
1

I tried to pass a parameter with the Smartclient URL, but no success.

The wicki says :
{serverUrl}/servoy-client/mySolutionName.jnlp?a={value}
Opens a Smart Client and launches the specified solution. The argument value is passed into the Solutions onOpen event handler.

  • does it arrive onOpen of the solution, or onOpen of the loginSolutionName ?
  • does this arrive as a named parameter (a in this example), or is this something like event.getParameter(‘a’) ?

Thank you for help.

After 1 Week with no answers, I need to know if the question is understandable, or if maybe it’s not really common, to pass a parameter with
the servoy url ?

Thank you for a feedback

You receive it in the arguments array.

ptalbot:

Thank you for answer. I think that’s what I’m not familiar with.

In the onOpen-property of the solution I typed globals.setEnvironment(argsArray)

the firs statement in globals.setEnvironment(argsArray) is application.output(argsArray, LOGGINGLEVEL.ERROR) and
the result of this (javaconsole) is: undefined

The Link looks like:
http://???.???.???.???:8080/servoy-client/GigDoodle.jnlp?userid=test

What do I wrong ?

This is standard JavaScript. The arguments array is a special variable passed to your methods.
You access it with its name, which is ‘arguments’ so for example:

if (arguments && arguments.length > 0) {
    application.output(arguments[0], LOGGINGLEVEL.INFO);
}

Patrick,
I tried

application.output(arguments[0], LOGGINGLEVEL.INFO)

in the onOpen of the solution , but receive still undefined
in the onOpen of the LoginSolution , but receive undefined too.

Does some security stuff on the server 2008 r2, or some enhanced security stuff from
servoy, influence the passing of a parameter ?

Is the link I showed above a correct syntax (wondering if the Named parameter in the wicki “a” is
necessary, but the receiving is just a array-position)?

Thank you for your help

If I remember correctly, you have to specify a global method in the deeplink as well.
Otherwise the parameters will not be passed correctly.

I used an ‘empty’ global method as a placeholder. The method itself just doesn’t do anything.

function login(){ //placeholder method }

The deeplink should look like:

{serverUrl}/servoy-client/mySolutionName.jnlp?m=login&a={value}

Please be aware that using a deeplink, java won’t create a shortcut on your desktop anymore (if you used this before)
This can be solved by using the ‘profiles’ in Servoy Admin pages.

Hope this helps

Now I got it, thank you !

So your suggestion :

mboegem:
If I remember correctly, you have to specify a global method in the deeplink as well.
Otherwise the parameters will not be passed correctly.

What I experianced:
The placeholder method is not necessary for a single parameter, but the letter a !
The a means “argument” and has a different meaning then in a html/php link, where
the letter(s) left the = are the name of a parameter.

mboegem:
The deeplink should look like: ```
{serverUrl}/servoy-client/mySolutionName.jnlp?m=login&a={value}

Yeas, this is the right way if you like to start a specific method and pass a parameter, because
de letters m means method and the a means argument.

But my link now looks like ```
{serverUrl}/servoy-client/mySolutionName.jnlp?a={value}

- in the onSolutionOpen of the loginSolutionName of the solution
- in the onSolutionOpen of the solution itself

Thank you @all for your patience !
