It has following attributes:<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf id: id uniquely identifies bean in a specified scope.<br \/>\n\u25cf Scope<br \/>\n&#8211; Page: It is the default scope that states that we can bean within this JSP page.<br \/>\n&#8211; Request: This is broader than a page as bean can be used from any page that processes similar requests.<br \/>\n&#8211; Session: It has a wider range than above as bean can be used from any page in the same session.<br \/>\n&#8211; Application: It has the maximum range as bean can be used from any page present in the same application.<br \/>\n\u25cf Class: Creates object of bean class.<br \/>\n\u25cf Type: It gives the data type to the bean existing in the specified scope.

We generate the cube of the given number.<\/p>\n<p>**Output has been shown with get and set property.<\/p>\n<h3>3. &lt;jsp:setProperty&gt;<\/h3>\n<p>jsp:setProperty and getProperty are used with usebeans. It is used to modify the properties of beans. It executes when new objects create. This has four attributes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>name: It is literally the name of the bean whose property we want to set. It has the same name as the object we instantiated using usebean.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0property: sets the property of the bean \u201c*\u201d means all the requests that match bean properties are included.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0value: gives specific value to the bean.<\/li>\n<li>Param: a name that will fetch the value .<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Syntax:<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"null\">&lt;jsp:setProperty name=\u201cbean\u201d property= \u201c*\u201d|\r\nproperty=\u201cpropertyName\u201d value= \u201c&lt;%=expression&gt;\u201d|\r\nproperty=\u201cpropertyName\u201d param= \u201cParametername\u201d\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>**Example along with get property.<\/p>\n<h3>4. &lt;java:getProperty&gt;<\/h3>\n<p>This action gets the value of property and gives it out on the output as string. To get the property of a bean, bean and its name must be defined. It gets the value of the property where the property is the name of the bean property that was set by setProperty as well. The attributes of getProperty are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>name: It gets the name of the bean whose property we need to get as its value.<\/li>\n<li>property: It defines the name of the property required for the bean.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Syntax:<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"null\">&lt;jsp:setProperty name=\"bean\" property=\"message\" value=\"Myexample\" \/&gt;\r\n&lt;jsp:getProperty name=\"MyPage\" property=\"message\" \/&gt;\r\n<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"null\">TestBean.java\r\npackage demotest;\r\nimport java.io.Serializable;\r\npublic class TestBean implements Serializable\r\n {\r\nprivate String message = \"null\";\r\n \r\n      \tpublic String getMessage() {\r\n      \t return msg;\r\n }\r\n \r\n      \tpublic void setMessage(String message) {\r\n      \tthis.message = message;\r\n }\r\n}\r\n \r\nGetSet.jsp\r\n&lt;%@ page language=\"java\" contentType=\"text\/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\"\r\n      \tpageEncoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"%&gt;\r\n&lt;html&gt;\r\n&lt;head&gt;\r\n&lt;title&gt;use bean, get set Property&lt;\/title&gt;\r\n&lt;\/head&gt;\r\n&lt;body&gt;\r\n&lt;jsp:useBean id=\"myBean\" class=\"demotest.TestBean\" \/&gt;\r\n&lt;jsp:setProperty name=\"myBean\" property=\"message\" value=\"GetSetActions\" \/&gt;\r\n&lt;jsp:getProperty name=\"myBean\" property=\"message\" \/&gt;\r\n&lt;\/body&gt;\r\n&lt;\/html&gt;\r\n<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Explanation:<\/strong><br \/>\nA TestBean class of package demotest that implements serializable class has been defined that gets and sets the message using getters and setters.
