I am trying to determine what the benefits are to using beans over just
an ordinary class. From the little that I know, I don't see the
benefit.
Take the calendar example for a bean (here is the JSP code) :
<html>
<jsp:useBean id="clock" class="calendar.jspCalendar"/>
<ul>
<li>Day:<%= clock.getDayOfMonth() %>
<li>Year:<%= clock.getYear() %>
</ul>
</html>
Versus just an ordinary server-side java class (here is the JSP code):
<html>
<% JspCalendar clock = new JspCalendar() %>
<ul>
<li>Day:<%= clock.getDayOfMonth() %>
<li>Year:<%= clock.getYear() %>
</ul>
</html>
Can someone give me an idea of why I should use beans over a regular
server-side class?
Thanks,
Patrick Regan
