Values from Java Applet - Html

Question

Does anyone know a quick, effective way to export field values in java to an HTML form? Thanks. Charles

You could use reflection: thsi would allow you to get the list of all the fields in an object you hold.
For example say you have a servlet ExportValuesServlet and you want it to output the field values of object publishedObject.
No matter what type publishedObject is, you could try, in the doGet method of ExportValuesServlet:
import java.lang.reflect.*;
doGet() { ....
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter (response.getOutputStream());
try {
Class class = publishedObject.getClass();
Field fields = class.getFields();
for (int=0; i<fields.length; i++) {
Object value = fields.get(publishedObject);
out.println(fields[i].getName() + "= " + value.toString());
catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace(System.err);
