Question

this is my DB enquiry function

        public static List<UserPass> selectAllUser() {
            ConnectionPool pool = ConnectionPool.getInstance();
            Connection connection = pool.getConnection();
            PreparedStatement ps = null;
            ResultSet rs = null;

            List<UserPass> usersPass = new ArrayList<UserPass>();

            String query = "select * from UserPass";
            try{
            ps = connection.prepareStatement(query);
            rs = ps.executeQuery();

            while(rs.next()){
            UserPass users = new UserPass();
            users.setUserName(rs.getString("user_name"));
            usersPass.add(users);

            }

            return usersPass;

and this is my UserPass object get function

   public ArrayList<UserPass> getusernames(){

   return usernames;
   }

my servlet dopost is simply this

    request.setAttribute("users", UserPassDb.selectAllUser());

    String forward = "/testpage.jsp";
    RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher(forward);
    view.forward(request, response);

and my display jsp page is

            <form action="TestServlet" method="post">
                <input type="submit">

            </form>

            <c:forEach var="user" items="${users}">

                <c:out value="${user.usernames}"/> 

            </c:forEach>

UserPass Class

            /*

            package business;

            import java.io.Serializable;
            import java.util.ArrayList;

            /**
            *
            * @author One
            */
            public class UserPass implements Serializable {


                public String username;
                public String password;

                public ArrayList<UserPass> usernames;


                public UserPass(){
                    this.username ="";
                    this.password ="";  
                    this.usernames = new ArrayList<UserPass>();
                }

                public void setUserName(String username) {
                    this.username = username;

                }
                public String getUserName(){

                    return username;
                }

                public ArrayList<UserPass> getusernames(){

                return usernames;
            }
                public void setusernames(ArrayList<UserPass> a){

                    this.usernames = a;
                }
            }

tried changing this it tells me property doesn’t exist when it does as far as i understand. am sure am wrong

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You have getusernames() which returns ArrayList and You did not mentioned setusernames(ArrayList<UserPass> ).

But, If You want to display Usernames, In JSP, Change

<c:forEach var="user" items="${users}">

        <c:out value="${user.username}"/> 

</c:forEach>

How this works:

Here usersis the request attribute which is a List<UserPass>. Now,When you iterate it using forEach,You get UserPass in user for each row.

Then user.username calls getUserName from UserPass bean.

In your case user.usernames, It returns empty Arraylist.
