It auot-populates every property in a javabean that has a matching setXXX()
method to an <input..> tag of the form.
For example:
<jsp:useBean id="mybean" scope="session" class="...." />
<jsp:setProperty name="mybean" property="*" />
<input type="text" name="firstName" value="<%= mybean.getFirstName() %>">
in your javabean you have:
private String firstName = "";
public String getFirstName()
{
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String value)
{
firstName = value;
}
Thats it! Now..keep in mind for <select..> tags in HTML, and drop-down
boxes, etc..there are different ways of handling this. Any form element that
can have multiple values, you need to use request.getParameters("name of
element") normally. In a javabean with get/set methods, you are passed a
comma delimited string, each token being one of the parameters. You then
parse it using a StringTokenizer into a String[] array and have your
selected items that way.
Hope that helps.
