yes you can. Let's say your user object, is you form class. or similar bean....... it has in particular a getFullname() method. You store this user bean on the request or session as "userstuff". Then when you want to write out the username on a jsp page all you do is this --> <bean:write name="userstuff" property="fullname"/>.
I don't see why this shouldn't work Hi Daryl, Thank you for your help. But, please bear with me because I am trying very hard to make some sense out of it. Is there any way that I can store the information associated to a particular user in a user object and then retrieve it later on my JSP page? In other words, can I do the following? <bean:write name="User" property="fullname"/> ?? Thank you!!!!!!
