Hi Mick,
you should consider whether or not it should really be static
within the context of your application, or whether it should be
instantiated and held in the session or request, etc.
If you really want it to be static, then try:
<snip>
// should always uppercase first letter :)
public class ParkingPricehandler{
private static String thePrice;
public static void setPrice( String price ) {
thePrice = price;
}
public static String getPrice() {
return thePrice;
}
}
</snip>
since you included a constructor, it looks like you
are wanting it to be instantiated directly, which you can do
by either creating an instance of your class in a code snippet
or in a jsp tag and then reference the instance in your html:
<% parkingPriceHandler pph = new parkingPriceHandler();
pph.setPrice("200");
%>
...
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="price" SIZE="0"
VALUE="<%=pph.getPrice()%>">
Cheers,
Jin
