Could someone give me a tiny snippet of code that will print the value of a bean property as the VALUE of the inputbox?
I've tried:
<input type="text" value="<jsp:getProperty name="selfEmp" property="department_ID" />">
And it didn't seem to work. Maybe be a problem with other code. Please let me know.
Thank you.

The one we used for my beginner is Core Servlets and JSP by Marty Hall. Even better is that you can download it for free at http://www.coreservlets.com .. You students will love that. Plus, it's well-written in a conversational style.
