How to set a bean property using the value from a page?

[mattmao]

Hello everyone.
I am new to J2EE and I am asked to do this:"Display two bean properties in a JSP file, the value of the username should be retrieved from the request.getRemoteUser();"

I got:

<%
     String user = request.getRemoteUser();
%>
<jsp:useBean id="userbean" class="mybeans.UserinfoBean" scope="session" />
<jsp:setProperty name="userbean" property="username" value=user />
<jsp:setProperty name="userbean" property="branchname" value="???" />

Then I use:

The logged-in username is:
<jsp:getProperty name="userbean" property="username" /> 
He/she is in branch:
<jsp:getProperty name="userbean" property="branchname" /> .
<br />
<%
out.println(user);
%>

I got the JSP output:
The logged-in username is:He/she is in branch:???
sydney


It seems that I have got the string user = sydney, and the expression tag could print that out. However I couldn't set that value into the JavaBean...

BTW I've tried using the ${user} EL
but it didn't work as well.
Thanks in advance!





Sincerely yours,

Matt

I got it:

value='<%= request.getRemoteUser() %>'


I forgot the key issue that JSP tags can be nested...
