Regarding jsp:getProperty

hi
i have a bean. I am setting the values of the bean and setting that bean as an attribute in the session.
In another jsp i am able to access the bean using
<jsp:getProperty name=".." property="..">
Here the name is the same as the attribute name.
But here i am not using <jsp:useBean /> tag.
I have read some where that <jsp:getProperty> or <jsp:setProperty> should be used with the <jsp:useBean> tag.
Please correct me where i am wrong?

I too read the same.
But i done an example on my local machine and i am able to access the <jsp:getProperty> without <jsp:useBean>
Consider Testbean.jsp
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<HEAD>
<LINK href="theme/Master.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

infoBean.setFullname("Macro");

infoBean.setOccupation("employee");
infoBean.setSex("F");
infoBean.setQualification("B-Tech");
session.setAttribute("InfoBeanObj",infoBean);
%>
<jsp:forward page = "TestBeanForward.jsp"/>

The TestBeanForward.jsp is

I ran TestBean.jsp on server and i am able to print all the values onthe browser

No Sir,
I think I did not explained clearly.what I try to say is I dont want to use JSTL.I am using only Scriptlets only.I can able to receive the values from the database to the resultset.But I could not populate it in Combobox.
My code is :
<tr>
<td width="22%"><font color="#000000"><strong>Assign To Engineer</strong></font></td>
<td width="78%">
     <select NAME="Name" size="1">
<option><%=Username%></option>
</select> </td>
</tr>
in HTML
and in Scriptlets:
ps1 = con.prepareStatement
          ("SELECT Username FROM Users");
          rs2=ps1.executeQuery();
          System.out.println("SECOND Succesfully Executed");
          while(rs2.next())
               System.out.println("Coming inside rs2.next loop to process");
               Username=rs2.getString("Username");
               System.out.println("Success");
               System.out.println("The value retrieved from UsersTable Username is:"+Username);
In the server(Jboss console) I can able to display the username but I could not populate it in the Combobox .
Can you now suggest some changes in my code,Please..
Thanks a lot

jsp:getProperty.... in a taglib-tag ???

Hi !
I have taglib where I have defined a lots of classes and one of them I have a attribute who should be dynamic. I have tryed this:
<easyTagz:submit iteration='<jsp:getProperty name='submission' property='maxCount'/>' />
but it dosen`t seem to work....
Any suggestion :-)

Dosen`t seem to work, have tryed and gets this error message:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.loadJSP(JspServlet.java:567)

Jsp:getProperty in tag attributes

Hii....
I have a custom tag that displays some information based on an attribute of the tag. I want to set information from a bean to the attribute using the jsp:getProperty tag...
I want to do something like.......
<mytagprefix:MyTag attribute1='<jsp:getProperty id="myID" property="name"/>' />
If I do it right now I am getting the string <jsp:getProperty id="myID" property="name"/> inside the my TAG.
any help will be appreciated.
sanjay.

I'm a bit rusty on custom tags, so maybe this isn't the best solution, but until you find a better one you can try '<%= myID.getName() %>' as the attribute.

Combining jsp getProperty with HTML EMBED

Hi, Just a quick question, I have a couple of JSP/HTML books and I can't find a way of achieving this;
basically I have a webpage that embeds a VRML file like so
<EMBED SRC="/VRML/stair.WRL"
TYPE="model/vrml"
WIDTH="300"
HEIGHT="300"
VRML_SPLASHSCREEN="TRUE"
VRML_DASHBOARD="TRUE"
VRML_BACKGROUND_COLOR="#0066CC"
CONTEXTMENU="TRUE"
>
This works fine, the problem is that I now have a servlet that dynamically generates the VRML file to be displayed, so I need a way of inserting this variable into the EMBED header, how do I do this?
If it can't be done with JSP etc then how about a JavaScript solution?
Anyway, ive tried a few things and Im out of ideas
Cheers
PS, the current JSP property finder;
<jsp:useBean id="vrmlFileFinder"
type="legato.VRMLBean"
scope="request" />
<jsp:getProperty name="vrmlFileFinder" property="fileName" />

There are two issues here
1 - generating the WRL file (from your servlet)
2 - generating the EMBED tag in the HTML/JSP page
These are two different requests to the web server.
1- generating the WRL file:
You say you have a servlet which generates the VRML code?
Does it generate it to file, or output it directly?
If it outputs it directly, just point the src of the tag to be your servlet
ie
<EMBED SRC= "/servlet/VRMLServlet"...
This will invoke your servlet, and return the code to the browser. (ie as long as the servlet sends it a WRL text format, it can't tell the difference)
2 - generating the EMBED tag:
If you want to dynamically choose which file to include, then JSP would do it like this:
<jsp:useBean id="vrmlFileFinder" type="legato.VRMLBean" scope="request" />
<EMBED SRC="<jsp:getProperty name="vrmlFileFinder" property="fileName" />"...
Remember that the JSP code gets executed first, so if the property evaluates to "/VRML/stair.WRL" all the browser will see is
<EMBED SRC="/VRML/stair.WRL" - it doesn't see the JSP code at all.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Jsp:getProperty

Hi!
I create a JSP page wich is going to process a bean put in the session by other jsp page.
The code is like this:
<jsp:useBean id="realty" scope="session" class="com.admin.bean.Realty" />
<jsp:setProperty name="realty" property="*" /> For the page where the user is going to enter the information and...
<jsp:useBean id="realty" scope="session" type="com.admin.bean.Realty" />
<jsp:getProperty name="realty" property="*"/> for the page where the data processing is going to occur.
The problem I have is that once I enter the informacion on the page1 and press submit. I got the following error:
Cannot find any information on property '*' in a bean of type 'com.admin.bean.Realty'
Can sombody help me with that??
Thanks

There is no property "*" applicable to a get[/i]Property.
With [i]setProperty, it makes sense, because you are telling the computer set ALL the properties of the bean which have corresponding parameters in the request.
However getProperty is designed to display/return one property. How could you display multiple properties? So * makes no sense in that case.

How come property attribute of jsp:getProperty knows which method to call

Hello friends,
I could not understand How come property attribute of <jsp:getProperty knows which method to call
<jsp:useBean id="test" class="BeanTest.testing" scope="page" />
<jsp:getProperty name="test" property="name" />
there is no method "name" in testing.class file
if u see the existing examples "date" given in TOMCAT , it is using many <jsp:getProperty tag, but the property name is not equal to the method method name in the Bean file
thanks,

First do you know what a
bean property sheet is?
If not say so.
Second, to your question
The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) uses introspection to identify the appropriate get() or set() methods of that bean. What is introspection?
Introspection is a process that allows the class to expose its accessable variables and methods and allows other classes to see what they can do with that class when requested. Eg:
public class MyBean{
private String someValue = null;
public MyBean(){
someValue = "Some String Value";
//Introspection will reveal this method
public String getSomeValue(){
return someValue;
} and
<jsp:getProperty name="...." property="someValue" />
will call the getSomeValue() method

Formatting fonts within jsp:getProperty tag????

I'd diplaying a piece of information on one of my pages using the jsp:getProperty tag.... there seems to be no way I can effect the display of the property with the font/color that I want - when I look at the resulting HTML code, I see that this tag has created a new HTML table specifying the class "inFieldSet" (a CSS class I presume, and which I also presume if overriding my desired font/color settings). Is there a way to make the page display the property using the font/color that I want without writing a custom tag?
Scott

All the JSP getProperty tag does, is get a string returning the value of a property. It would not apply any formatting to your page.
I would take a look at the "getter" for this property to see what value it is returning.
Most probably it is returning a chunk of preformatted html.

Using jsp:getProperty ... inside a scriptlet

When I use the following line in a jsp file,
<% boolean userExists=<jsp:getProperty name="xxx" property="exist/> %>
it gives an error saying that a term is missing, when I try to load this page. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Nalini

Don't put the bean in the servlet context but use the HttpSession
session.setAttribute("xxx", loginBean);
in the JSP retrieve the bean by
<jsp:useBean id="xxx"
scope="session"
class="package.LoginBean" />
Where id = the name of the attribute in the session
class = the full package name of the bean.
Or
LoginBean myBean = (LoginBean) session.getAttribute("xxx");
Don't forget the import
<%@ page import="package.LoginBean" %>

hi,
public String getFirstname() {

public void setFirstname(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}now it will work,
use upper case letter after getX & setX, remaining you to follow in small case

Questions regarding jsp file download from blob

A concern regarding JSP lifecycle

Hello Developers,
I am totally new to JSP stuff and I seek some help. I am trying to make an application such that the user will load an HTML page and fill in the data, then a jsp file will process it and mail the result back to the address that the user specified in the initial HTML file. So, within JSP page, I have embedded java code to create object of appropriate class, loading the appropriate method etc.
My main concern is that it takes almost an hour to process the request. So is there anyway in which the user can close the browser soon after he submits the data and the corresponding jsp will run in 'background' at the serverend? And eventually, once the result is ready after an hour, the server sends email?
Thanx!
Jatan

Yes, make the request asynchronous. The proper way to do this is with message-driven beans sent to a JMS queue. If you have a more lightweight environment, spin off a separate thread to do the work. Though be sure you can manage it properly. :^)
