useBean question

[Amruth Puppala]

source is jdiscuss mock.
Which of the given statements are correct regarding the following JSP page code?

<jsp:useBean id="mystring" class="java.lang.String" />
<jsp:setProperty name="mystring" property="*" />
<%=mystring%>

Assume that the request for this page contains a parameter mystring=hello.

What is the output:

Correct answer is : It will print "".

But I think : It will print "hello".

What is your view on this question.

Hi,

if you do like <%= request.getParameter("mystring"); %> then answare is "hello" . but here your printing useBeans property name which will print ""

Hope This Helps

Hi,

you are welcome . no question is too simple in java

you can also use the implicit map param for this and print as <%= ${param.mystring} %>
