10.6.3 Using HTML Tags to Manipulate a Bean's Properties

In addition to using JSPs for reading and displaying data via JavaBeans, it is
also possible to use them for manipulating bean properties directly (both read-
ing and writing). This is achieved by using action tags <jsp:getProperty>
and <jsp:setProperty>, which are used to 'get' and 'set' exposed bean
properties respectively. This is particularly useful for non-programmers. For the
<jsp:getProperty> tag, two attributes are required:
￿

name (specifying name of required bean);

￿ property (specifying name of property).
