Description

You must create or locate a Bean instance with <> before you use

<>.

The <> tag gets a Bean property value using the property's get method,

converts the value of a Bean property to a String and stores it in the out object.

In JSP 1.0, <> has a few limitations you should be aware of:

* You cannot use <> to retrieve the values of an indexed property.
* You can use <> with JavaBeans components, but not with enterprise

beans.
