Accessing global JS variables in a JSSP script

**jmartyr** · 2016-01-03, 23:30

Hi all,

I've declared some variables to be used by the whole app in a JS page specified as the custom library in the app settings. Works totally fine accessing and mutating them from within pages, sections and so on. Now I'm building a webview section to display these variables in a nice, CSS'd format. Problem is, when I try to print the variables to the webview's html with javascript, it's telling me they aren't declared. Obviously they are, so it's not seeing the variables declared in the app's custom library.

E.G.:

lib_myapp.js

Code:

var myglobal = "abcd";

page1_section1.jssp:

Code:

<%@ Language=JavaScript %>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<% print(myglobal); %>
</body>

Is it even possible to access those variables from the javascript on a JSSP page?

Thanks.

Custom library code runs in the client.

WebViews have their own context although you can use the Lianja system object from any JavaScript that is generated and runs within that context.

Passing client side data to server pages should be done as parameters that should preferably be base64 encoded and if passing many of them added to an object which is JSON encoded on the client and JSON decoded on the server.

So to summarize. Considering a Webview is generated remotely it has no direct access to client side JavaScript variables.
