smray7 0 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 I need to automatically generate a ticket_id number, so I did just that in a jsp file. Then I want to display that randomly generate ticket number in the Ticket ID text field on my html page. Then I am going to get that ticket number from the text field and insert it into my database through the jsp again. Am I complicating things? Why doesn't the below code work? Should I just execute the random ticket number when the user clicks the submit button on the html form and show a box with the ticket number? Please help and thank you if you do. Any advice is very helpful. Random rand = new Random();int randomnumber = rand.nextInt(90000) + 10000;Ticket ID:<input type="text" name="ticketid" value="<%randomnumber%>"></input><br/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites

davej 251 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Well, did you read it carefully? <%Random rand = new Random();int randomnumber = rand.nextInt(90000) + 10000;%>Ticket ID:<input type="text" name="ticketid" value="<%=randomnumber%>"/><br/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
