Hi all,

I'm running a jswdk-1.0 jsp-example that includes 2 files:

numguess.jsp and
NumberGuessBean.java (for the class NumberGuessBean, of course)

In the class NumberGuessBean, there defines the method:

public void setGuess(String guess)

but I could not find  in the jsp or java files anywhere this
function is invoked !!! How could th jsp file process the string
input by the name "guess" ??

Many thanks to any info. on this.

  Congratulations!  You got it.
  And after just <%= numguess.getNumGuesses() %> tries.<p>

  <% numguess.reset(); %>

  Care to <a href="numguess.jsp">try again</a>?

<% } else if (numguess.getNumGuesses() == 0) { %>

  Welcome to the Number Guess game.<p>

  I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100.<p>

  <form method=get>
  What's your guess? <input type=text name=guess>
  <input type=submit value="Submit">
  </form>

<% } else { %>

  Good guess, but nope.  Try <b><%= numguess.getHint() %></b>.

  You have made <%= numguess.getNumGuesses() %> guesses.<p>

  I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100.<p>

  <form method=get>
  What's your guess? <input type=text name=guess>
  <input type=submit value="Submit">
