4.2.2.3.7.1: JSP syntax: Tags for variable data
The variable data syntax enables you to put variable fields in
your JSP file and have your servlets and JavaBeans
dynamically replace the variables with values from a database when
the JSP output is returned to the browser.
The table summarizes the tags. Click a tag to link to its syntax description.

Tag |
Details |
Get the value of a bean to display in a JSP. |
<tsx:getProperty> |
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 that was 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, is displayed in the Browser window.
|
Repeat a block of HTML tagging that contains the <tsx:getProperty>
syntax and the HTML tags for formatting content. |
<tsx:repeat> |
Use the <tsx:repeat> syntax to iterate over a database query results set. The <tsx:repeat> syntax iterates from the start value to the end value until one of the following conditions is met:
- The end value is reached.
- An exception is thrown.
The output of a <tsx:repeat> block is buffered until the block completes. If an exception is thrown before a block completes, no output is written for that block.
