Using Bean Counter in JSP

Using Bean Counter in JSP

In this section you will learn how the counter bean can be used in jsp. As you all know a counter increments the value by one. Here, we will use bean with a jsp.

Here is an example which explains the purpose.

Code of counter.jsp:

<%@ page language="java" %>
<jsp:useBean id="counter" scope="session" class="form.CounterBean" />
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Use Bean Counter Example</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<table><tr><td><b>
The current count for the counter bean is: </b>
<%=counter.getCoun() %></td></tr>
</table
</BODY>
</HTML>

Code of CounterBean.java:


package form;

public class CounterBean implements java.io.Serializable{



int coun = 0;

public CounterBean() {

}

public int getCoun() {

coun++;

return this.coun;

  }

public void setCoun(int coun) {

this.coun = coun;

  }

}

In the above example, A jsp page sets the session by scope="session" and calls the Bean by class="form.CounterBean". A variable 'coun' is initialized to 0 which will return the coun++. The method <%=counter.getCoun() %> is then called by the jsp and the counter value will get incremented by one till the session continues. After the compilation, run the tomcat.
