Setting JavaBeans Component Properties

There are two ways to set JavaBeans component properties in a JSP page: with the jsp:setProperty element or with a scriptlet

<% beanName.setPropName(value); %>

The syntax of the jsp:setProperty element depends on the source of the property value. Table 12-1 summarizes the various ways to set a property of a JavaBeans component using the jsp:setProperty element.
