Newbie Bean Questions 1

[Michael42]

Hello,

I am learning Sun ONE Web Server Enterprise Edition 6.1 and JSP. I have a some java code (a class) I would like to use in my JSP page.

1. Where to I put my .java file?
For example: myclass.java
2. How do I call (istantiate) my class?
From scouring the docs it looks like <jsp:useBean>
Can you provide an example please.

Thanks,

Michael42

It does not matter wherer your .java files live, but the .class files should go into WEB-INF/classes, or be jar'd up and put into WEB-INF/lib.

sedj,

Thanks - that was useful sir.

One other minor point to all those JSP\Java Bean newbies like me...

Make sure to bounce your server if beans\classes not auto refreshed!

Took me two weeks to realize this small but vital point. :-|
