Can you parse a Java object as a parameter?
Hi,
I thinking I'm asking something fundamental here, but I was wondering if there was any way of creating a java object in a java servlet and then passing that object to a jsp page (if the object is *not* a bean)?
For example, I want to create an object of type com.jae.jaeQuestion.Question in QServlet and send this object to a jsp page to access its accessor methods. (I cannot make Question into a bean as it accesses a lot of backend data sources whcih are generated on the fly and have thousands of different results with no unique key).
I tried in the Servlet:
session.setAttribute("question", actualQuestion);
Where actualQuestion is of type Question but then I get an error on the JSP because it can't convert the String question to a Question (I was casting it).
Is the only way to do it, have the servlet access all the accesor methods and chuck the results into parameters?
Basically, can parameters of a session only be strings?
Thanks in advance
