<jsp:useBean id="obj" scope="session" class="classname"/>
<%=obj.display()%>



Please could you tell me what Servlet equivalent is for the above code?

Regards,
Vivek

Create an instance of the class, set it into session scope.

<jsp:useBean> also has some semantics around checking whether the bean already exists or not.

You could also look at the generated JSP code to see how the action is implemented.

You have to import the class using page directive
<%@page import="complete class path">

and then create an instance of the bean and add it to the session using setAttribute() method.

That makes no sense in the context of a servlet.

In a servlet, you cannot use page-directive, Sorry. Please find my steps below to implement <jsp:usebean> equivalent in servlet.

Import the bean using import <bean-path>
and then create a session object
HttpSevletSession sesssion = request.getSession();
Now create a bean object
MyBean b = new MyBean();
set the data of the bean and then add to the session.
session.setAttribute("bean, b);

This makes the assumption that the variable does not already exist in the scope defined. The jsp:useBean first checks to see if the variable does not exist before making the new object. The most similar code would be:

That assumes the scope being looked at is the session, replace the intended scope as needed.
