[skpradeepkumar]

Hi all,

 I have added some options ( such as for city text area, for state drop down
box, for gender also drop down box etc  ) , to the contact list
communication event. I want the values of these options but i don't want to
store these values in the database and how can i get these
values to the java file.

especially how screens are built.
depending on your goal you have the choice to use the ones available or
to change them.

If its your custom form then you can get this values easily in Java file.

    <request-map uri="createCustomCommunicationEvent">
        <security https="true" auth="true"/>
        <event type="java" path="org.ofbiz.party.PartyCustomEvents"
invoke="createCustomCommunicationEvent"/>
        <response name="success" type="view" value="your-own-view-name"/>
        <response name="error" type="view" value="your-own-view-name"/>
    </request-map>

After submitting form you can get this values in Java files by following
sentences :-

String myCity = request.getParameter("myCity");
String myState = request.getParameter("myState");

Pradeep , this are really very simple things.
You can increase your knowledge by reading so many documents present on
Ofbiz confluence.

Following link is the main link for the documents.
