How to use the bean Object

[Goldie Hawn]

Hi,
when I create the bean object using the following code
<jsp:useBean = "book1" scope="session" class="myClass.Books" />
How can I pass this object book1 as an hidden type request parameter to another html page.
Is this the right way to do it?
<input type=hidden name="book" vaue=book1>
Thanks in Advance

If the HTML page is being called by the same page where the bean instance (<jsp:useBean> action is defined then there is no need to pass it as hidden field as you have already given a "session" scope.
Also note that the syntax should be:
<jsp:useBean id="book1" scope="session" class="myClass.Books" />

<jsp:useBean id="book1" scope="session" class="myClass.Books" />
For the above, you define the bean "book1" with the scope of "session", you can always get the same bean as long as it's in any page with the same session. For the following:
<input type=hidden name="book" vaue=book1>

You define a hidden Variable named "book" with a String value "book1". It will be totally different thing since it's not a bean.

try changing the scope of the bean to application. Then, you can use the same bean in the html if that html is a part of the application ....
