1)how can i use the $path in <%!
2)how can i print the data from <%!
thank you & sorry for my poor english!

script︰

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=big5" import="java.util.*, java.io.*"%>

<%@ page import="com.drew.metadata.*"%>
<%@ page import="com.drew.metadata.exif.*"%>
<%@ page import="com.drew.imaging.jpeg.JpegProcessingException"%>

<%
Date $date= new Date();
String $patha=new File(application.getRealPath("/")).getParent();
String $pathb=new File(request.getRequestURI()).getParent();
String $path=$patha+$pathb+"\\";
%>

<%!
public static void main(String args[]) throws FileNotFoundException {
File f = new File("X:/xxx/xxx.JPG");[/b]
/*1）Can i change to the following line︰
[b]File f = new File($path +"xxx.JPG");*/
try {
ExifReader er = new ExifReaderRose;
Metadata exif = er.extract();
Iterator itr = exif.getDirectoryIterator();
while (itr.hasNext()) {
Directory directory = (Directory) itr.next();

/*2）How to print the following lines︰*/
System.out.println("EXIF版本：" + directory.getString(ExifDirectory.TAG_EXIF_VERSION));
System.out.println(" 相機品牌：" + directory.getString(ExifDirectory.TAG_MAKE));
System.out.println(" 像機號碼：" + directory.getString(ExifDirectory.TAG_MODEL));
System.out.println(" 光圈值：" + directory.getString(ExifDirectory.TAG_FNUMBER));
System.out.println(" 快門：" + directory.getString(ExifDirectory.TAG_EXPOSURE_TIME));
System.out.println(" 感光度：" + directory.getString(ExifDirectory.TAG_ISO_EQUIVALENT));
System.out.println(" 軟件：" + directory.getString(ExifDirectory.TAG_SOFTWARE));
System.out.println(" 原始拍攝時間：" + directory.getString(ExifDirectory.TAG_DATETIME_ORIGINAL));
System.out.println(" 數字化時間：" + directory.getString(ExifDirectory.TAG_DATETIME_DIGITIZED));
System.out.println(" 方向：" + directory.getString(ExifDirectory.TAG_ORIENTATION));
System.out.println(" 圖片寬度：" + directory.getString(ExifDirectory.TAG_EXIF_IMAGE_WIDTH));
System.out.println(" 圖片高度：" + directory.getString(ExifDirectory.TAG_EXIF_IMAGE_HEIGHT));
System.out.println(" 水平分辨率：" + directory.getString(ExifDirectory.TAG_X_RESOLUTION));
System.out.println(" 垂直分辨率：" + directory.getString(ExifDirectory.TAG_Y_RESOLUTION));
System.out.println(" 垂直分辨率：" + directory.getString(ExifDirectory.TAG_EXPOSURE_BIAS));

break;
}
} catch (JpegProcessingException e) {
System.err.println("This is not a JPEG - 這不是JPEG檔");
}
}

$path is variable in page scope and can be used like normal Java variable access:

System.out.println won't work, try printing the data to the page itself, using out.print

I'm genuinely curious: where do people get the idea of putting Java code into JSP pages? Are there still tutorials out there that advocate this? This has been considered bad design and bad style for at least half a decade. That's what MVC is all about.

thank you for your advice,
however,
because im very new to the JSP,
and actually i know nothing about the JAVA programing,
i even dont know how to separate the JAVA code from a JSP,
make a JAR package or build a Class? how to mport a JAVA code into my JSP? i know nothing about this,
i tried to google around for this but i get nothing.
at the end i put the JAVA code into my JSP...
sorry for my innocent.

This article should get you started: http://www.javaranch.com/journal/200603/frontman.html
I'd also advise to work through a servlet/JSP introduction like the "Head First Servlets & JSP" book. Once you've become accustomed to bad habits, it's hard to break them.

thank you for your link, and i like this sentence "if I can look back at code I had written previously and know that the code I am writing today shows significant improvement, it means that I am still learning and growing as a coder." i will work hard on JSP and JAVA~

hi, i tried to change the 26line to "File f = new File($path+"DSC_9268.JPG");" and using out.print,
but i get a error of "$path cannot be resolved",
and "out cannot be resolved",
here is my error report of tomcat:

An error occurred at line: 27 in the jsp file: /05_exif/exif.jsp

28: try {
29: ExifReader er = new ExifReader(f);

So I see that all the good advice to remove the Java code from the JSP is going to be ignored?

public static void main, that's not what JSP are meant for. You really need to go through some JSP/Servlet tutorial. Here is free PDF, http://pdf.coreservlets.com/

I am tring my best to do that~
now I am tring to separate the Java code and the JSP code by using <jsp:useBean>,
I can set and get a variable with <jsp:setProperty> and <jsp:getProperty>,
however, I dont know how to run those "EXIF READER code" in JBean,
even easy as a Hello World in JBean:

no erorr but also nothing printed... how can I run the code in main?

I think you're going off on the wrong track here.

The JSP should be used just for interacting with the browser/user. It should be used to get input from the user (via <form> and <input> elements), then used to display the results of the application's processing. That's all.

The point others are trying to make is you don't want to do any application logic in the JSP page.

Instead, place your application logic in a Servlet. You'll need to read-up on how to use Servlets. There are tutorials and even free books available on the Internet. Start here: http://www.coreservlets.com/ and here: http://pdf.coreservlets.com/. One thing about books on the JSP topic is that they'll show examples which include application logic in the JSP page. They do this just to make the example easier to get up and running (so they don't have to also create a Servlet) - ignore that. Even through it's possible, never place application logic inside the JSP page.

The basic premise is that you'll start with a JSP page which gathers necessary input from the user and does a POST to the Servlet.
The Servlet then performs all the necessary processing, including the parsing of the data you've been talking about, etc., then creates an object on the session to hold all the results that will be displayed to the user. This object can be a JavaBean.

The Servlet then forwards the request to a JSP page that will be used for the display of the data. The JSP page displays the data it retrieves from the session object (the JavaBean or whatever).

Note: In the normal running of things, you will never use a "main" method in either a Servlet or JavaBean. These method can be used when you unit test these components, but they are never called when used by the container.
