What is the <jsp:setProperty> standard action?

The <jsp:setProperty> standard action is used with the <jsp:useBean> standard action to set the bean properties. This standard action has the mandatory name and property attributes. The name attribute of the <jsp:setProperty> action must match the id attribute of the <jsp:useBean> standard action. This attribute can be set at the request time or can be hard-coded in the page.

To set all the properties, property=”*” is used, and to set a single property, property=”PropertyName” is used. Here, PropertyName is the name of the property to be set. The value of this property can be set using value=”ValueName”. Here, ValueName is the value for the property.
