Using servlets with java beans

[Giselle Dazzi]

Hi all,
Do you know how I can call beans methods from a servlet.
I mean, Im trying to find out how to do a

<jsp:useBean id="Historico" scope="session" class="beans.HistoricoBean" />
  

from inside a servlet instead of a jsp page.
I tried instantiating the bean class and then calling the get method I want but since it's a new instance, I dont see the content it has been set by the session.
Thx in advance,

Hi Giselle,
The best way to see how you may call a javabean from a serlvet is to check the code of the servlet generated by your JSP page.
I'm sure you know that at translation time, JSP pages are converted into servlets..
So just cut and paste..

thx, I got it, here's the code I used:

  
 HttpSession session = req.getSession(false);
    HistoricoBean historicoBean = (HistoricoBean)session.getAttribute("Historico");
    if (historicoBean == null )  throw new ServletException("Missing required historicoBean")
