tsx:getProperty tag JavaServer Pages syntax and examples

The <tsx:getProperty> tag gets the value of a bean to display in a JavaServer Pages (JSP) file.

This IBM extension of the Sun JSP <jsp:getProperty> tag implements all of the <jsp:getProperty> function and adds the ability to introspect a database bean created using the IBM extension <tsx:dbquery> or <tsx:dbmodify>.

Note: You cannot assign the value from this tag to a variable. The value, generated as output from this tag, displays in the browser window.

This section describes the syntax of the <tsx:getProperty> tag:

<tsx:getProperty name="bean_name"
  property="property_name" />

where:

• name

  Represents the name of the bean declared by the id attribute of a <tsx:dbquery> syntax within the JSP file. See <tsx:dbquery> for an explanation. The value of this attribute is case-sensitive.

• property

  Represents the property of the bean to access for substitution. The value of the attribute is case-sensitive and is the locale-independent name of the property.

Tag example:

<tsx:getProperty name="userProfile" property="username" />
