Actions in JSP

The jsp:getProperty Action

This element retrieves the value of a bean property, converts it to a string, and inserts it into the output.

The two required attributes are name, the name of a bean previously referenced via jsp:useBean, and property, the property whose value should be inserted.

Here's an example:

<jsp:useBean id="itemBean" ... /> ... <UL> <LI>Number of items: <jsp:getProperty name="itemBean" property="numItems" /> <LI>Cost of each: <jsp:getProperty name="itemBean" property="unitCost" /> </UL>
