Storing data with one JSP and retrieving it with another

Does anybody have any advice on how to store form data in a bean when
the user clicks the submit button, then retrieve the data and display it
in an already open jsp?

Thanks

Amy

I'll recommend three ways.
The first is to use the struts framework and let this be handled for you.

The second is to use a servlet to handle the form submission. The servlet
can store the bean as a request attribute, and dispatch to the jsp. The jsp
can then retrieve the bean using the <jsp:useBean...> tag. It can retrieve
with scriptlets as well but, thats bad form.

If you just want something quick and dirty have the post submit to a jsp
page. The jsp page can use a jsp:useBean tag and a jsp:setProperty tag to
populate the bean.
see this here: http://www.jsptut.com/Forms.jsp
To counter that tutorial page, I'll recommend that you use JSTL tags instead
of the scriptlets for the output.

Hi Paul,

>I'll recommend three ways.

here is the fourth quick and dirty way:

Use sesssion.setAttribute(...) and session.getAttribute(...) to pass
data between two JSPs or servlets. It's the easiest way and you don't
need any bean.
