Can a JSP page instantiate a serialized bean?
Created May 4, 2012
Govind Seshadri No problem! The useBean action specifies the beanName attribute, which can be used for
indicating a serialized bean. For example:
Also, you will have to place your serialized file within the WEB-INFjspbeans directory
for it to be located by the JSP engine.
<jsp:useBean id="shop" type="shopping.CD" beanName="CD" /> <jsp:getProperty name="shop" property="album" />
A couple of important points to note. Although you would have to name your serialized file "filename.ser", you only indicate "filename" as the value for the beanName attribute.
