bindingResult.getAllErrors() vs bindingResult.getFieldErrors() - json

I am developing a application using Spring MVC 3.0 frame work, I have following requirement,
There are multiple form in one jsp page. I am using ajax to submit each form. But after submitting, each form will go to different controller. In controller I will validate input data if there is any error I need to send validation result back to jsp page. Right now I am storing errors into a separate list and sending back to jsp through json response. I am not sure whether to use bindingResult.getAllErrors() or bindingResult.getFieldErrors() to get list of errors in my controller. What's the difference between both?

getAllErrors()
By using bindingResult.getAllErrors you will get all errors, both
global and field ones.
getFieldErrors()
By using bindingResult.getFieldErrors() you will get all errors associated with the given field.
Here is a useful Link that may help you understand difference between each better.

getAllErrors() returns all errors, both Global and Field. getFieldErrors() only returns errors related to binding field values. I am not sure what a "Global" error is generated from, as I have never seen one.

JSON object losing info between API call and Frontend

I'm making a website that gets its info from a RESTapi I've written and hosted myself, have had no data problems thus far.
Now I'm trying a simple retrieve of a json object and I get all the info correctly as shown here in the API. (Visualized & tested in Swagger)
As you can clearly see, it retrieves it the complete object and underlying objects correctly (blurred sensitive info).
Pay attention to the property "AmountOfEggs" though.
Now when i call this api endpoint (exactly the same way) in my site and console.log the result.data, this is the feedback.
Now for some reason I can't recieve AmountOfEggs in my frontend.
I've recreated the entire object, wrote different names, passed different props (Id, NumberBus, etc are passed in this situation with no problem, which are also int (number) types).
I have no idea why this property gets "dropped" in the transfer and filled with/defaults to an empty string.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I found where it went wrong and it's due to different factors.
To start, I am making this site using the Vue framework, which has reactive components, which means, data gets adjusted and you get live updated components on your views/pages.
In the page that contained the call, I also wanted to add dynamic styling. The code I used for this is the following:
v-for="seller in retrievedSellers"
:key="seller.Id"
:class="[
'sellerStyle'
, (seller.AmountOfEggs = 0 ? 'grey-out-seller' : ''),
]"
Now two things to note, first of all this might look like backend coding but this is Vue logic on the .vue file which handles the dynamic options that Vue provides so I never thought to look here for the error.
The error of couse is the 'seller.AmountOfEggs = 0' part, using one equal sign (assignment) instead of two (comparison).
So I learned,
Vue doesn't throw errors on assignments in code that is used to generate frontend (where you should NEVER alter your data).
My console.log was the moment the response of the API came in, where apparently it was already assigned a new value (due to my code above) before hitting the console.log.
It still greatly surprises me that Vue handles ^this^ first to make sure your reactive components are up to date before finishing the api call itself.
However, I still don't understand how it said "" instead of 0.
I'm using typescript (javascript strongly-typed) so it definitely wants to contain a number and not an empty string. Even in the declaration of my DTO the property is defined as (and expects) a number.

Understanding PrimeFaces validation handling; when/why is p:resetInput needed

I've experienced different results when validation fails on my forms. I have two very similar forms using the same custom validator. On one, when validation fails, subsequent entries do not submit data. The validator has a null entry in the second parameter (Object value). I can get past it by using p:resetInput.
Before I start pulling it apart to see what is causing the different results I'd like to know what I should expect. In "normal" web forms when a user enters invalid data they simply get the opportunity to reenter valid data. They don't have to press some reset button. I would expect PrimeFaces to work like this. But if that's the case, why would we even need this resetInput button?
So the question is when is p:resetInput needed and why?

Filter entries using form

I have an ExpressionEngine site that I'm building with Bootstrap. It's a site for volunteers to find projects to help with. On the home page I have a modal with a form for them to select when they're available and what categories of jobs they're looking for. Then they can click submit and it'll go to a new page with filtered entries.
I don't know if this is possible using the GET method or POST method on the form. I've figured out how to use the GET method and get a query string into my URL but I don't know how to use that data to filter my entries on the entries page. Or would using POST and JSON be a better option? I don't know really how to implement either so any help would be great.
Thanks a lot!
It depends on how the information you would like to show is stored.
If you are using MySQL (a common RDMS), or any other form of SQL Database for that matter, the most common way is to send your GET query string (for example) to your server, have a sever-side language (such as PHP) handle that request by accessing your database, and then echo the result. This can be done synchronously, or with AJAX.
For example, the flow of everything might look like this:
User selects an option (say, "Gardening Projects").
JavaScript converts the value of that input option to a query string and sends an HTTP request using the GET method.
The destination of this request is "filter.php" (for example).
"filter.php" access your database using an SQL query, which searches for any entries in your database, say, having a tag of "gardening".
"filter.php" echos a statement with those entries (or, better yet, returns a JSON object)
JavaScript then parses the resultant JSON object into the DOM, which displays as a bunch of links in a result area that your user can click on.
The question you have about how to handle this is very broad, so I would recommend simply doing some Google searches or looking around this site for resources that show you how to set up databases, access those databases with possibly PHP/SQL, and maybe even use AJAX to return those results, etc.
To get you started (these are in no particular order):
AJAX Tutorial
PHP - JSON encode
SQL tutorial
jQuery AJAX
I got it figured out with some help from #JoshBeam. It turns out that I was trying to make it way more complicated than it actually is. Rookie mistake. In the end I just ended up using method=get in my form and the setting the action as the page with the filtered entries. I then used php to echo the inputs into my EE channel:entries tag.
One thing I still haven't figured out is how to make it so that my query string will combine values for matching names. Currently I have checkboxes for days of the week, each with name="day" and different values for each day. If there are multiple checked, my query string becomes example.com/?day=sun&day=mon when I'd rather have it as example.com/?day=sun&mon. So if anyone has any tips on that, I'd welcome them! I also wonder if there's a way to add pipes between each value when I echo them in my EE tag so that I can have multiples - e.g. {exp:channel:entries category="1|2|3"}. But I have really yet to Google either of these questions so I'll do that.
Thanks!

Parameter Passing from ExtJs to Html

I am trying to pass an Extjs parameter ,which I retrieved from a store in the code, to html code.
Any ideas?
ok.so here is the structure.
I am trying to make an ajax call with updater.update from jsp.
The call goes to controller and returns a jsp which includes another jsp(jsp include is used)
the jsp ,which is included by the other one, needs an attribute which is on a store object. So I need to fetch it from the store and place it on the html side.
Is it more clear now?
Thanks for your replies
PS: Actually my real problem is: the jsp ,which is included by the other jsp, includes scripts and as I have read from the responses on internet, to call a jsp page(which includes javascripts) through ajax and try to render it, is not possible on ie7 and ie 8(the famous "Could not complete the operation due to error 80020101" error ). Is it correct?

Handling multiple forms on a single JSP

I have a JSP page with several forms on it. Some of these forms are
generated dynamically, and each of them submits some information to a
database.
Handling one form is easy, as I can simply make the form post to
itself, and handle the
data using a single bean. Since I have multiple forms, I now have a
problem. Several of the forms on the page handle the same type of data
(same input names), and a 'setproperty *' call for each of the form
beans would change data in several beasn, not just the form/bean that
sent the data.
I am attempting to write a separate JSP with a single bean that
handles a form submission. However, I'm not sure how to make this page
go back to the referring page from which the data was submitted.
i'm going to reformulate in a simple way my question :
I have one jsp, that lists an faq with one question and multiple answers.
Each answer has its comment form, so its the same formbean.
I dont know how to set this...
Use a servlet to control, preprocess and postprocess the request based on the request parameters. You can distinguish the form by the name and/or value of the submit button pressed. You can forward the request back to the JSP page by RequestDispatcher#forward().
