This may be a bit of an overshare, but I'm trying to figure out what
I'm doing wrong here. I'm learning about HTML, JSPs, and working with
the GAE.
For starters, I have the following HTML page where the user enter's
the employees first name.
This posts to the JSP below
<html>
<body>
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="EmployeeRegistration.jsp">
<table>
<tr>
<td>First Name</td><td><input
type="text" name="firstName"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="submit">
</FORM>
</body>
</html>
As I understand it, the post to this page will populate the firstName
property of the employee bean indicated in the JSP below
<jsp:useBean id="employee" class="com.alex.Employee" scope="session"/>
<jsp:setProperty property="*" name="employee"/>
<html>
<body>
<a href="EmployeeRegistrationConfirmation.jsp">Continue</a>
</body>
</html>
so, the JSP should call the setFirstName method of the Employee class
on the post to the above JSP
package com.alex;
public class Employee {
private String firstName;
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
}
So, why doesn't the following produce the right results?:
<jsp:useBean id="employee" class="com.benniefinder.Employee"
scope="session"/>
<html>
<body>
Your name is <jsp:getProperty property="firstName"
name="employee"/>
<br/>
Your name is <% employee.getFirstName(); %>
</body>
</html>
The first of the two lines above outputs the firstName property of the
bean, but the second line outputs an empty string.
What am I missing?
Alex
