Can a JSP page instantiate a serialized bean?
Created May 3, 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.
For details, see the JSP 1.1 specification at http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/tags/11/syntaxref11.fm14.html .
