servlets - Accessing bean from Jsp -

i searched on forum haven't got appropriate solution. , if mistake 1 duplicate sorry.

coming problem... i'm setting values 1 of html using servlet code index.html

<form method="post" action="user"> what's name? <input type="text" name="username" size=20>` 

code servlet

package test;   ...... userbean ub = new userbean(); string name = request.getparameter("username"); ub.setfirstname(name); request.setattribute("user",ub); requestdispatcher rd=request.getrequestdispatcher("/getjsp.jsp"); rd.forward(request,response); 

both servlet , bean placed in package called test.

code userbean:

private string firstname;  public string getfirstname() {     return firstname; }  public void setfirstname(string firstname) {     this.firstname = firstname;     system.out.println(firstname); } 

from bean i'm able print proper value name on server console. after setting values servlet i'm trying acceess bean values jsp called getjsp.jsp

getjsp.jsp

<table>    <jsp:usebean id="user" type="test.userbean" class="test.userbean" scope="request" >        <tr>        <td>  id : </td>        <td> <jsp:getproperty name="user" property="firstname"/></td>    </tr>    </jsp:usebean> </table> 

when accessing bean properties jsp i'm getting following error:

org.apache.jasper.jasperexception: /getjsp.jsp (line: 10, column: 1) value usebean class attribute userbean invalid.

i'm not able understand problem in code error. me out please.

thank you.

given error message, seems actual code of jsp uses class="userbean" , not class="test.userbean".

but more importantly, reason why found nothing when searching answer you're implementing jsp if nothing had changed in jsp area more 10 years. jsp:usebean , other jsp:xxx tags obsolete. learn how use jsp el , jstl, , replace code of jsp by

<table>     <tr>        <td>  id : </td>        <td><c:out value="${user.firstname}"/></td>    </tr> </table> 

this have additional advantage of escaping html special characters in user name.
