From servlets to JSTL

Question

This is my code. and the problem is i need to change this 'String userName=request.getParameter("username");' into JSTL. Im using Javabean also.
JSP Page:
..<%
            String userName=request.getParameter("username");
            String passWord=request.getParameter("password");
            if (idHandler.validate()) {
       %>
        <jsp:forward page="index.jsp"/>
           } else {
        %>
        <jsp:forward page="retry.jsp"/>
        <%            }
        %>
*My javabean:*
<jsp:useBean id="idHandler" class="bean.User" scope="request">
    <jsp:setProperty name="idHandler" property="*"/>
</jsp:useBean>
*The java class:*
public String getUsername() {
        return username;
    public String getPassword() {
        return password;
    public void setUsername(String u) {
        username=u;
    public void setPassword(String p) {
        password=p;
    }I just need to change into JSTL in the JSP Page. Thanks.

Not sure exactly what you're looking for.
Sounds like you want to use the jstl core library's "out" tag.
Make sure you configure (in web.xml) and declare (at top of jsp page) the appropriate jstl library, in this case jstl core, and assign a prefix, typically "c" and then you can start using the ubiquitous <c:out value=${bean.blah}/> tag to display/use your bean's attributes.
Good luck, Carl
