Trouble setting bean values in jsp via servlet in request scope

[Harshvardhan gupta]

Hi i am trying to set my bean values from a html form (login.html) parameters into a jsp bean.the parameter from form first goes to a servlet named ELTest.java where i instantiate the bean and then bound that bean in request attribute and forward it to a jsp named first.jsp where bean value is supposed to be set using parameters.but the problem is when i output that value it shows null. please help me
here is jsp
--first.jsp--

<jsp:useBean id="Employee" type="com.example.model.Employee" scope="request" >
<jsp:setProperty name="Employee" property="ID"/>
</jsp:useBean>


<jsp:getProperty name="Employee" property="ID"/>


here is bean

--Employee.java--

package com.example.model;


public class Employee
{
private int ID;
public Employee(){}

public void setID(int ID)
{
this.ID=ID;
}
public int getID()
{
return ID;
}


}


here is servlet

--ELTest.java--

//ArrayList<String> myFood=new ArrayList<String>();
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response)throws ServletException,IOException
{
name=request.getParameter("name");
ID=request.getParameter("ID");
name_ID=name+ID;

if(name_ID!=null)
{

Employee e=new Employee();
request.setAttribute("Employee",e);
//request.setAttribute("User_info",name_ID);
request.getRequestDispatcher("first.jsp").forward(request,response);

}
}


}

Can you please UseCodeTags for your source code, so that it becomes easier for people reading the query to follow the code.

Also please avoid using any instance variables in the Servlet like below:

public class ELTest extends HttpServlet 
{ 
String name,ID,name_ID; //This is to be avoided. 
//Map<String,String> musicMap =new HashMap<String,String>(); 
//ArrayList<String> myFood=new ArrayList<String>(); 
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response)throws ServletException,IOException 
{ 
...
...

Did you check if you are getting the correct parameters in the Servlet? You could try using a Debugger.

I am sorry for the mistakes mentioned by you.Actually i never posted anything before this in any of the forums so i have to learn a lot of etiquette . and yes i got the parameter values both in the servlet and in the jsp too (using param implicit object).But how to do it like the way i am trying to do.
