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

Question

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
