Explain the use of JSP actions for database access.

bookmark

JSP actions provide a convenient way to interact with databases within JSP pages. Some commonly used JSP actions for database access are:

  • <jsp:useBean>: Instantiates or retrieves a JavaBean representing a database connection or a data access object (DAO).
  • <jsp:setProperty>: Sets properties of a JavaBean representing a database entity or a query parameter.
  • <jsp:getProperty>: Retrieves properties of a JavaBean representing a database entity or a query result.
  • <jsp:include>: Includes the content of a JSP page containing database-related logic or query execution.
  • <jsp:forward>: Forwards the request to a servlet or another JSP page for database processing.
  • Custom tag actions: Custom tags can be created to encapsulate complex database operations and improve code modularity and reusability.
