Java Beans

[harikumar devandla]

Consider the following .jsp file.

MyUseBean.jsp

<%@ page language="java" import="com.mypackage.MyBean" %>
<jsp:useBean id="myBean" class="MyBean"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="myBean" property="myProperty" value="<%=request.getParameter("sentProperty")%>"/>
<jsp:getProperty name="myBean" property="myProperty"/>
MyBean.java

Package com.mypackage;

Public class MyBean
{
private String myProperty;

public MyBean()
{
this("initialValue");
}

public MyBean(String myProperty)
{
this.myProperty= myProperty;}

public void setMyProperty(String myProperty)
{
this. MyProperty= myProperty;
}

public String getMyProperty()
{
return myProperty;
}
}

Which of the following is the result produced when MyUseBean.jsp is accessed with the URL
MyUseBean.jsp?sentProperty=
(With out any value provided to sentProperty)

Can you please tell me what is the answer?
I guess the answer'd be compilation error. because this("initial value")
should not be used with the constructor for the bean class.
As it a public no args constructor.

kindly waiting for the reply.
Thanks

Hi,

the Bean's code is all right. There is a no arg constructor, so it should be compiled without any error (You can call another constructor by the this(...) expression from the very first line of the constructor)

The final value of myProperty should be an ampty string. The reason is, that You have used the <jsp:setProperty.../>'s value form, where value is an empty string.

Don't we need a fully qualified class name:
<jsp:useBean id="myBean" class="com.mypackage.MyBean"/>

Ignoring all compilation errors, I agree with Forro.
