refering to Head Frst JSP Servlets ,,page 416.




What happens when these parts of servlet code Exceute? (person is abstract and eMployee is concrete).

1
Person p = new Employee();
p.setName("evan");
request.setAttribute("person", p);

2
Employee p = new Employee();
p.setName("evan");
request.setAttribute("person", p);

Should the results of both not be the same?

You can find the java servlet that the JSP engine creates on behalf of the JSP and see what happens. If you are using Tomcat, it places these in the folder hierarchy under $CATALINA_HOME/work.

the book specified that the second option wud work..

Bear, why do you want me to look at the servlet code? The query was for the useBean.. anything specific you wanted to point to

Can you explain what you mean by "it doesn't"?
Was an exception thrown? If so, can you post the stack trace?
What behviour were you expecting?
What actually happened.

I don't see anyting wrong with either example.

I think Bear's statement was more general.
Anytime you want to find out how the JSP compiler is dealing with a particular piece of code, the first place you should look is in the generated servlet code.
