1 Beans and HTML Forms Usually Beans are used to represent the data of HTML forms

2 Example: Name Form <html> <head> <title>jsp Processong form using a bean</title> </head> <body> <h1>jsp Processing form using a bean</h1> <form action="doformbean.jsp" method="get"> First name: <input type="text" name="firstname"></ br> Last name: <input type="text" name="lastname"> <p><input type="submit" name="button" value="submit Name"></p> </form> </body> </html>

3 Example: Name Bean package beans; public class NameBean private String firstname; // property private String lastname; // property public String getfirstname() return firstname; public String getlastname() return lastname; public void setfirstname(string first) firstname = first; public void setlastname(string last) lastname = last;

4 Example: doformbean.jsp <jsp:usebean id="name" class="beans.namebean" /> <jsp:setproperty name="name" property="*" /> <html> <head> <title>jsp Form results using a bean</title> </head> <body> <h1>jsp Form results using a bean</h1> Hello <jsp:getproperty name="name" property="firstname" /> <jsp:getproperty name="name" property="lastname" /> </body> </html> Note the use of property="*" to set all the bean properties using the form data values (i.e., GET/POST parameters)

5 MVC approach MVC stands for Model-View-Controller Controller: controls the application by getting the input and forwarding the request to the appropriate page View: visual appearance of the output data Model: logic, calculations necessary to produce the data. Sometimes called business logic

6 MVC Example (Temperature) Getting the input (Fahrenheit temperature) form.jsp (user input of temperature) controller.jsp (dispatch (forward) request) Displaying the output (Celsius temperature) response.jsp Model (logic and calculations done by beans) TemperatureBean.java (form data) TemperatureCalculatorBean.java (does the temperature conversion)

7 TemperatureBean: package beans; public class TemperatureBean private String temp; public String gettemperature() return temp; public void settemperature(string t) temp = t;

8 TemperatureCalculatorBean: package beans; import java.text.decimalformat; public class TemperatureCalculatorBean private double celsius; public String gettemperature() return new DecimalFormat("0.00").format(celsius); // continued on next slide

9 TemperatureCalculatorBean (Contd.): public void settemperature(string fahr) double f; try f = Double.parseDouble(fahr); catch (NumberFormatException e) f = 0.0; celsius = (f ) * (5.0 / 9.0);

10 Forwarding A Page A JSP can forward the request to another page using <jsp:forward page="file.jsp" /> The important idea here is that this new page receives all the request parameters of the forwarding page.

11 controller.jsp: <jsp:usebean id="temp" class="beans.temperaturebean"> <jsp:setproperty name="temp" property="*" /> </jsp:usebean> <% if (request.getparameter("temperature") == null) %> <jsp:forward page="form.jsp" /> <% else %> <jsp:forward page="response.jsp" /> <% %>

12 form.jsp <html> <head> <title>fahrenheit to Celsius Conversion</title> </head> <body> <h1>fahrenheit to Celsius Conversion</h1> <form action="controller.jsp" method="get"> Fahrenheit temperature: <input type="text" name="temperature"></ br> <input type="submit" name="button" value="submit Temperature"></p> </form> </body> </html>

13 response.jsp <jsp:usebean id="temp" class="beans.temperature" scope="request" /> <jsp:usebean id="convert" class="beans.temperturecalculatorbean" /> <jsp:setproperty name="convert" property="temperature" value="<%= temp.gettemperature() %>" /> <html> <head><title>fahrenheit to Celsius Conversion</title> </head><body><h1>fahrenheit to Celsius Conversion</h1> <jsp:getproperty name="temp" property="temperature" /> Fahrenheit is <jsp:getproperty name="convert" property="temperature" /> Celsius. <p><a href="controller.jsp">convert another.. </a> </p></body></html>

14 Database Connectivity From JSP

15 Example: Trap Display page import="javax.servlet.*" %> page import="javax.servlet.http.*" %> page import="java.sql.*" %> page import="javax.sql.*" %> page import="javax.naming.*" %> page import="java.io.*" %> page import="java.util.*" %> page import="javax.servlet.*" %> page import="javax.servlet.*" %> <html> <head> Trap Recipient Table </head> <body> <h1>trap Recepient Table:<h1>

16 Example: Trap Display (Contd.) <% try //String dbname = "java:comp/env/jdbc/trapdb"; String dbname = "jdbc/trapdb"; InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(); DataSource ds = (DataSource) ic.lookup(dbname); Connection con = ds.getconnection(); Statement stmt = con.createstatement(); String sql= "select * from Traps"; ResultSet rs = stmt.executequery(sql);

17 Example: Trap Display (Contd.) String name; double val; java.sql.date date; while (rs.next()) name = rs.getstring("trapname"); val = rs.getdouble("trapvalue"); date = rs.getdate("trapdate"); out.println("name = " + name + " Value = " + val + " Date = " + date); stmt.close(); %> catch(sqlexception ex2) System.out.println(ex2); catch(ioexception ex3) System.out.println(ex3); catch(exception ex4) System.out.println(ex4); </body> </html>
