Accessing ArrayList to place in table on jsp page

Oct 31 '08, 06:52 PM

I have been flailing widely about trying to get the information from the arrayList to the jsp page to print to a table on the jsp page.

The information on the txt file is

Name:Department :Job Title:Year Hired:Gender

Code:


<%@page import="java.io.*"%>

<%@ page session="false"%>




<html>

<head><title>Employees Hired</title></head>
<head><description>Employee Listing</description></head>
<form method="post" action="hiredEmployee.jsp"/> 


<table border='2' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='4'>
   <tr><th> Name </th><th> Department <th> Job Title </th><th> Year Hired </th><th> Gender </th></tr>


</html>




////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

package domain;

 import java.util.Scanner;
 import java.io.*;
 import java.util.ArrayList;
 import java.lang.*;
 
public class HiredEmployee {
    
    public ArrayList line = new ArrayList();
    private String temp="";	
    private String[] words; 
    private Scanner sInput = null;
    
    	
    public ArrayList<String> getLine(){
   
		words=new String[line.size()];
  		try{
    			sInput = new Scanner(new FileReader("hired.txt"));
    	
    		
    			while (sInput.hasNextLine()){
    				temp=sInput.nextLine();
    				line.add(temp);
    				//words = temp.split(":");
    				 	
    			}
    	}
    	catch (FileNotFoundException exception) {}
    		sInput.close();
    		 return line;
    	}
   	
}

Any insights woudl be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
JoeMac

As per your query on the title, "Accessing ArrayList to place in table on jsp page" the logic goes as follows.

Create an arraylist somewhere - preferably in a Java class

Store the arraylist in one of the available scopes - request, session for eg.,

Access the arraylist object from the scope in JSP page

Iterate the array list inside the <tr> tags of your JSP page using the scriptlets <%..%>

Hope this helps.
