Question

I have a class which would create a bean and the bean has few get and set methods(for example setId, and getId, now im including this java file in a jsp page, now my question is how to forward the values returned by the bean to the jsp file ?

Kindly help.

Answer 1

This should be something you have in your servlet:

MyBean bean = new MyBean(); //This should be your bean
Object o1 = bean.getObject1(); //Please don't use Object, use the correct type
Object o2 = bean.getObject2();

request.setAttribute("name",o1); //name can be anything you want
request.setAttribute("test",o2);
//forward to JSP

=======================================

In your jsp you could use EL:

<!-- This is the firstObject -->
<p>${name}</p>

<!-- This is the second Object -->
<b>${test}</b>

=======================================

Or the older style with use:Bean:

<!-- This is the first Object, use the correct type in class -->
<jsp:useBean id="name" scope="request" class="java.lang.Object" />

Now you can access the properties of the bean:

<jsp:getProperty name="name" property="firstName"/>

or:

<%= name.getFirstName() %>

=======================================

Normally it is very rare that the second part is used. Most people use EL these days. But i just included it, to cover everything
