JSP AND JAVABEANS – PASSING PARAMETER

Posted by leejeok on August 11, 2007

Description: Simple demo of javabean to receive and pass back parameter to JSP page. The objective here is to assemble all html codes to be place within the JSP page. Any processing of business logic would be code within the JAVABEANS. As a result, the HTML developer will focus any changes of the presentation / interface and allowing the JAVA developer to focus on the business logic to be define within the JAVABEANS.

Best Practice:

  1. JavaBean class must not have argument constructor.
  2. Provide the properties to customize the bean.
  3. Define the getter method to retrieve the property. No parametes and must return an object of the type of the property.
  4. Define the setter method to modify the property. Take a single parameter and return a void.

Technology Coverage: JSP and JAVABEANS

Sample of the code of index.jsp:

<jsp:useBean id=”_detailbean” class=”org.detailbean” scope=”session”/>

   <%
   String name = request.getParameter(“name”);
   if(name!= null)
       _detailbean.setName(name);
   %>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=UTF-8″>
        <title>JSP Page</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <form name=myform method=post>
            Param Value: <input type=”text” name=”name” value=”” />
            <input type=”submit” value=”Submit” />
            <br>
            Your parameter: <%=_detailbean.getName()%>
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

Sample of the code of detailbean.java:

package org;
public class detailbean implements java.io.Serializable {
    private String name = “”;
   
    /** Creates a new instance of checkbean */
    public detailbean() {
    }
   
    //define getter
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
   
    //define setter
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}
