write() v/s println()

[ashok khetan]

hi!
here is File.jsp:
<jsp:useBean id="cool" class="mytagdir.MyBean" scope="session" />
<% out.write(cool.getMarks()); %>
<% out.print(cool.getMarks()); %>
MyBean.java:
package mytagdir;
public class MyBean {
public MyBean() {
System.out.println("constructor of MyBean");
}
public int getMarks() {
return 100;
}
}
When we access the File.jsp file through the browser then it shows "d 100". I didn't get why the write method in jsp file returns the ascii value of the output of getMarks() method?

in your JSP page, "out" is instance of class JspWrite which entends from java.io.Writer. when you call out.write(int i) it uses java.io.Writer method:
write(int c)
Write a single character.
when you call out.print(int i) it uses JspWriter method:
print(int i)
Print an integer.
that is the reason you got the output of "d 100".
wish that will help.
