Hello,

I’m new to JSP and I tried to create this web application which simply echoes user request info back.

The helper class User is defined as :

package com.apress.faq;

public class User {
private String firstName;
private String surname;
private String loginName;
private int age;

public String getFirstName() {return firstName;}
public void setFirstName(String newFirstName) {this.firstName = newFirstName; }

public String getSurname() {return surname; }
public void setSurname(String newSurname) {surname = newSurname; }

public String getLoginName(){return loginName;}
public void setLoginName(String newLoginName) {loginName = newLoginName;}

public int getAge(){return age;}
public void setAge (int newAge) {age = newAge;}

The welcome.jsp file first displays a form for the user to enter their first name, surname, login and age. The form then passes the request to “processing_page.jsp” which looks like this (NB. I have only included a fragment):

<%
if((user.getFirstName() == null)||(user.getSurname()==null)||(user.getLoginName()== null)||(user.getAge()== 0) ) {
%>
<p> You have not filled out the registration form parameters.<p>
<br><p> <a href=”welcome.jsp”>Please return to the welcome page and fill out the required
information.</a><p>
<%
} else {
%>
<jsp:forward page =”welcome.jsp”>
<jsp:param name=”form_complete” value=”true”/>
</jsp:forward>
<%
}
%>

It appears to work fine, for the most part, but what I’, finding is that if I don’t place all the values into the form, I get redirected to the code which states that the registration form has not been completed, sent back to welcome.jsp, but for some reason, the user attributes don’t change value. Can a bean’s values not change ? It doesn’t seem to want to pick up the new values in the form when resubmitted.
