- Java Beans are reusable software components for Java.
- They are classes that encapsulates many objects into a single object (the bean).
- They are serializable (to save the state of an object), have a no-argument constructor (to instantiate the object), and allow access to properties using getter and setter methods.
As an example, here is the User beans with 2 properties :
package beans;
public class User {
private String email;
private String password;
public String getEmail() {
return email;
}
public void setEmail(String email) {
this.email = email;
}
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
}
After create that class, we can call it from JSP file either to set the value or get the value.
