This example shows how to set and get properties of java bean class in jsp page. The important rules of setting and getting of properties are following:

  1. The set method name and property name must be same but with first letter in upper case and prefix with 'set'.
  2. The return type of the set method should be void and should take only one input parameter.
  3. The get method name and property name must be same but with first letter in upper case and prefix with 'get'.
  4. The return type of the get method can be String or any primitive type and should take no input parameter.
