Question

In my Servlet:

person.setEmail(eMail);
request.getSession().setAttribute("person", person);

RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("/JSPAddress");
rd.forward(request, response);

My Bean Class:

private String eMail;

public Person(String eMail) {
    setEmail(eMail);
}

public String getEmail() {
    return eMail;
}
public void setEmail(String Email) {
    this.eMail = Email;
}

In my JSPAddress:

<input type="text" size="45" name="email" value='<c:out value="${person.eMail}" />' >

What I want:

• An email value in textfield, which is set in a Servlet

Answer 1

EL accesses properties by getters, not directly by the field. If your setter is named setEmail() then your getter is likely named getEmail(), so the property name is really email, not eMail.

Thus, this should do

${person.email}
