How to send a JS variable within a scriptlet tag to call a Java method?

[brandy3619]

Please find below my Java script method in which i call a java method to fetch a locale specific error message

alert(<%=Msgs.getMessages("MessageResources", "errors.textNotLatin");

I can get the locale through this in my script

var locale = document.UserForm.preferredLanguage.value;

I need to send this 'locale' value along with the alert message
For eg it should read as below for locale germany

alert(<%=Msgs.getMessages("MessageResources_de", "errors.textNotLatin"); 

or

alert(<%=Msgs.getMessages("MessageResources", "errors.textNotLatin", <%=locale%>);

I am unable to send the locale variable as a third parameter or append it to the MessageResources string directly. Could someone please help?

If you are working in a JSP, why cant you set those variables in request or session to get that value in Java function.

I would not be submitting the form. This is for validating the input and dynamically displaying the error message in a locale specific language.

[RamananKalirajan]

Try like this

<%
String str = '"MessageResources","errors.textNotLatin","'+
%>
document.write(locale);
<%+"';%>
alert(<%=Msgs.getMessages(str)%>);

I still get a compilation error. Its the single quotes.
Will the java variable str be recognized by the alert which is JS?

[RamananKalirajan]

then use escape sequencing character for double quotes " \" "
