Using bean declared in JSP from Servlet

[Dhaval Patel]

Hi All,
In a jsp file i use
<jsp:useBean id="mybean" scope="request" class="MyBeanClass"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="mybean" property="*"/>
<jsp:forward page="/servlet/myServlet" />
In my servlet file myServlet I want to use the bean..
I don't know how to use the mybean in servlet to get the value set in the jspfile..
Any hints would be a gr8 help..
thanx
Dhaval Patel.

Since you are forwarding to the servlet, and your bean is in request scope, you can simply get the bean off the request. Like this:
// Get the bean off the request.
MyBeanClass theBean = (MyBeanClass) request.getAttribute("mybean");
Then you can simply deal with the bean as you would normally (i.e. theBean.getX(), theBean.getY()).
