Using Beans in JSP Pages

Using Beans in JSP Pages


• A Java Bean is a specially constructed Java class written in the
Java.
• Java Beans are java classes that have properties, which can be
read via a get method or changed via a set method.
• A Java Bean should not have any public variables. All the
variables should be accessed using the get/set methods.

JavaBeans Properties
• A JavaBean property is a named attribute that can be
accessed by the object. The attribute can be of any Java data
type, including the classes that you define.
• JavaBean properties are accessed through two methods in
the JavaBean's implementation class.
Using Beans in JSP Pages
getPropertyName()
• For example, if property name is firstName, your method
name would be getFirstName() to read that property.
setPropertyName()
• For example, if property name is firstName, your method
name would be setFirstName() to write that property.

Accessing JavaBeans
• Following JSP action elements are required to use Java
bean in a JSP file.
– <jsp:useBean>
– <jsp:getProperty>
– <jsp:setProperty>
Load Java bean inside a JSP :
• We need to use <jsp:useBean> tag to load a bean into JSP.
• The basic syntax is given below:
<jsp:useBean id=“objname" class=“ClassName" />
Getting the Properties of the Bean :
• After the bean gets loaded into the page, the properties can
be accessed by using the <jsp:getProperty> action element.
• The basic syntax is given below:
<jsp:getProperty name=“objname“ property=“propertyname"/>
Setting the Properties of the Bean :
• To modify (or) assign value to any variable of the bean object
the <jsp:setProperty> action element is used .
• The basic syntax is as below
<jsp:setProperty name=“objname" property="name"
value=“anyvalue"/>
Example: “Employee.java”
Step 1: Create Java Bean
package college;
public class Employee {
private String name = "Madhu";
private String department = "CSE";
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getDepartment() {
return department;
}
public void setDepartment(String department) {
this.department = department;
}
}
Example: “jbeandemo.jsp”
Step 2: Create JSP
<html>
<head> <title> Java Bean Demo</title></head>
<body>
<jsp:useBean id="employee" class="college.Employee" />
<h2>Old Employee details </h2>
Name: <jsp:getProperty name="employee" property="name" /><br/>
Department :<jsp:getProperty name="employee" property="department" />
<jsp:setProperty name="employee" property="name" value="Durga" />
<jsp:setProperty name="employee" property="department" value="CSE" />
<h2> New Employee details </h2>
Name:<jsp:getProperty name="employee" property="name" /><br/>
Department :<jsp:getProperty name="employee" property="department" />
</body>
</html>
Step 3: Create Folder Structure

webapps

WEB-INF

classes

Class Files
JSP Files web.xml file

lib

Static Resources(HTML,css,images..)
Execution Procedure:
1.We need to compile Employee.java file.
2.After successful compilation we get package along with class
file.
college

Employee. class

3.We need to copy Employee. class along with college package


into classes folder which was in WEB-INF folder.
4.After copying, We need to execute JSP file(jbeandemo.jsp)
using Tomcat server.
i.e., open any browser give following as URL
localhost:8080/foldername/jbeandemo.jsp
Output:
Example: “Calculator.java”
• Create Java Bean
package mycalc;
public class Calculator{
public int cube(int n)
{
return n*n*n;
}
}

• Create JSP file “calc.jsp”


<jsp:useBean id="obj" class="mycalc.Calculator"/>
<%
int m=obj.cube(5);
out.print("cube of 5 is "+m);
%>
