Can you use java script in guidewire?

Instead of using a Link in guidewire I want to use a button to kick off a URL using POST.. example:

<form name="input" method="Post" id="aerForm" name="aerForm" action="https://geico.com">
    <input type="hidden" name="rs:command" id="rs:command" value="test"/>
    <input type="hidden" name="rs:Format" id="rs:Format" value="PDF"/>
    <input type="hidden" name="rc:Toolbar" id="rc:Toolbar" value="false"/>
    <input type="submit" value="Get your total">
</form>

I am not sure how to use this in studio or if there is a different way to achieve this. Does anyone have experience with this?

Solution

  • You can use javascript to do that.

    1. En customer.js file you need to add a function like this.

    function createFormAndSubmit(formTxt)
{
	formTxt = formTxt.split("&lt;").join("<");
	formTxt = formTxt.split("&gt;").join(">");
	formTxt = formTxt.split("'post'>").join("'post' >");
	var parser = new DOMParser();
	var formElement = parser.parseFromString(formTxt,"text/xml").documentElement;

	var newForm = document.createElement('FORM');
	newForm.name = 'NewForm';
	newForm.method = 'POST';
	newForm.action = formElement.getAttribute("action");
	newForm.target = 'NewFormTab';
	newForm.style.display = "none";

	for(var i = 0; i < formElement.childNodes.length; i++) {
		var node = formElement.childNodes[i];
		var name = node.getAttribute("name");
		var value = node.getAttribute("value");
		if (name == "null") {
			continue;
		}
		var inputbox = document.createElement('INPUT');
		inputbox.type = 'HIDDEN';
		inputbox.name = name;
		inputbox.value = value;
		newForm.appendChild(inputbox);
	}
	document.body.appendChild(newForm);
	newForm.submit();
}

    1. In PCF file you need to add a TemplatePanel like this.

    <TemplatePanel><![CDATA[<script>function callMyForm() {createFormAndSubmit("${new organization.package.MyClass().getFormString(policyPeriod)}")}</script>]]></TemplatePanel>

    1. In the Button action call the created function

    <ButtonInput action="javascript:callMyForm()" id="MyFormButton" value="displaykey.MyFormButtonLabel"/>
