does this jsp code will work?

[vianyrajnish rajnish]

hi all ,

This is taken from Kathy Sierra..Head first jsp and servlets

jsp code is like this below:

<jsp:useBean id="person" type="foo.Employee">
<jsp:setproperty name="person" property="name" value="Fred" />
</jsp:useBean>

Name is <jsp:getProperty name="person" property="name" />


questions are :
what happens if the sevlet code is like this

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

answer :
fails at request time . The person attribute is stored at request scope
so <jsp:useBean > tag wont work because it can't find bean attribute .

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

answer : this works fine and prints out "Evan"

-------------------------------------------------

my doubt is in both 1) and 2) question the person attribute is having request scope only ...then how the 2) will run succesfully.
( in jsp above ther is no scope , so default is page scope )


can anyboby please answer this ..

Thanks,
Vinay Rajnish

Please do not post the same question in multiple forums.

It causes confusion and duplication of effort which will annoy the people who would otherwise help you making it less likely that you will get an answer to your question.
