I have an assignment to use JavaBeans to create an online Banking application. I am trying to make the signup form but I am having some issues. When the form submits I am not able to get the values.
The Form:
<jsp:include page="header.html"></jsp:include>
<h3>Create An Account</h3>
<form action="process_new_user_account.jsp" method="post" onsubmit="return validate_form(this)" >
<fieldset>
<legend>Personal Info</legend>
<table width="650px" border="0" align="center">

<td width="25%"><div align="right">First Name: </div></td>
<td width="75%">

<jsp:include page="footer.html"></jsp:include>
The JSP page that the for submits to (its is short just for testing until I get it to work):
<%@page import="WebBank.Customer"%>
<jsp:useBean id="customer" scope="session" class="WebBank.Customer"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="customer" property="zip"/>
<jsp:include page="header.html"></jsp:include>
<h3>Welcome!</h3>
<p>Thank you for creating a new account with JAC Bank!</p>
<%
System.out.println("Testing.....");
System.out.println("Name: " + customer.getZip());
%>
<jsp:include page="footer.html"></jsp:include>
There is also a class called Customer that has a default constructor and a String getZip() and void setZip( String zip ) methods.
I don’t see a servlet to unpack the values from the input form, bind them to a Customer object, and add it to session. Where does that happen in your code?
It’s called Model-2 MVC. Add a servlet and funnel requests to it. You’ll fare better.
I’d also recommend that you learn JSTL and remove all scriptlet code from your JSPs.
