This tutorial explains, Introduction to Java Bean and How to create first java Bean program step by step. The prerequisite required is understanding of core-java and servlet and jsp technologies. you can find step by step development of first servlet program and jsp program.

Java bean  is a reusable software component. It encapsulates many objects into one object, so we can access this object from multiple places. A JavaBean class propertes can be read, write, read only, or write only. so these properties are accessed through getPropertyName() & serPropertyName() methods in the JavaBean’s implementation class.

How to access java bean properties in jsp ?

useBean action declares a JavaBean for use in a JSP.  Once declared, the bean becomes a scripting variable that can be accessed by both scripting elements and other custom tags used in the JSP.

The syntax for the useBean tag is:

Basically, Java Bean is a java class that should follow these conventions, these are the unique characteristics that distinguish a JavaBean from other Java classes:

• It should have a no-arguments constructor.
• It should be Serializable ( is the process of converting a java object into byte array so that it can be preserved.Normally,when execution of java program is over,objects get destroyed. But due to serialization,those objects will be preserved in memory buffer/file.).
• It should provide methods to set and get the values of the properties, known as getter and setter methods.
• It is a reusable software component. A Java bean encapsulates many objects into one object, so we can access this object from multiple places. Moreover, it provides the easy maintenance.
• A JavaBean property may be read, write, read only, or write only. JavaBean properties are accessed through two methods in the JavaBean’s implementation class.
