jsp:useBean

[dolly shah]

A JSP page has the following useBean declaration that references a bean called Person. The person class has a private field called firstname and an appropriate getter (accessor) method for retrieving the value of that field.

<jsp:useBean id="person" type="com.examulator.Person" class="com.examulator.Person" scope="session" />

Which of the following is the correct syntax for a getProperty tag to retrieve the value of the instance of Person.

<jsp:getProperty name="person" property="firstname"/>

<jsp:getProperty name="person" property="getFirstname"/>

c)
<jsp:getProperty id="person" property="firstname"/>

<jsp:getProperty name="person" property="firstname" scope="session"/>

Choose one answer.

Check out the jsp specs. Only name and property are the jsp:getProperty attributes.

scope attribute is only for jsp:useBean tag.
