Look at the jsp:useBean tag. Here is an example usage: <jsp:useBean id="contact" scope="request" class="com.zephion.ds.DbContactExt"/> <% contact.setUser_id(aUserId); %> -----Original Message----- From: Bob Kersten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2001 6:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: using beans Hi, So... i've installed Borland JBuilder 3.5 and I created a JavaBean. Looking at the project directory, it created a .class file. How do I use this file, and where do I place it? I've got in-line JSP (servlet?) working with Tomcat, but I've never used a bean or what-so-ever, so I don't exactly know where to place the files and how to implement it. Thnx, Bop. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
