After using JSP for a while (and loving it) I've ran into a number of
situations where it would be advantageous to be able to set a bean's
property to another bean. For example, I've got a set of format beans
and I've got a table bean. It would be nice to assign the
table.columnFormat property to a bean, rather than a string. Right now
it seems that we are limited to just setting/getting string properties.
It seems there should be some way to set a bean's property to another
bean, not just a string.
Something like a <SETFROMBEAN> tag that could work like:
<USEBEAN name="dateFormatBean"
type="com.mypackage.DateFormatBean"></BEAN>
<USEBEAN name="tableBean" type="com.mypackage.TableBean">
<SETFROMBEAN BEANPROPERTY="columnFormat" VALUE="dateFormatBean">
</USEBEAN>
This would be ultra cool and very useful. If there's already some way
to do this, someone let me know.
Thanks!
