Jsp:getProperty

Syntax

<-jsp:getProperty name="beanInstanceName" property="propertyName" />

Example

Calendar of <-jsp:getProperty name="calendar" property="username" />

Description

The element gets a Bean property value using the property's getter methods and displays the property value in a JSP page. You must create or locate a Bean with before you use .

The element has a few limitations you should be aware of:

* You cannot use to retrieve the values of an indexed property.
* You can use with JavaBeans components, but not with enterprise beans. As alternatives, you can write a JSP page that retrieves values from a Bean that in turn retrieves values from an enterprise bean, or you can write a custom tag that retrieves values from an enterprise bean directly.

Attributes
