JSP Bean

[pankaj patil]

hi

problem is

i have 3 pages
in each page i call bean and i have written connection in the constructor. scope of the bean is session.
dose it mean that the constructor is called on each page.

With regards
Pankaj

in each page i call bean

Does that mean you are using the <jsp:useBean..> utility ? In which case
here's what the spec says

The <jsp:useBean> element locates or instantiates a JavaBeans component. <jsp:useBean> first attempts to locate an instance of the Bean. If the Bean does not exist, <jsp:useBean> instantiates it from a class or serialized template.

If you have written a scriptlet to instantiate the bean, then yes- the constuctor would be called that many times.

cheers,
ram.

PS: I hope you are closing all those connections after usage. Better, use a
datasource to maintain the connections for you.
