printing from java bean to jsp page

System.out.print from a java bean writes to the command prompt but how do i 
write to a jsp page where inside that jsp page i call the java bean.  must i 
pass it in as a variable or can i write psuedo code such as

println(<html>blah</html>);

if so how.

Re: Printing from java bean to jsp page

If you need to capture output from a bean, don't use System.out.print - that
goes to the system console or a log file.  The "out" variable on a JSP page
is a java.io.Writer object (or at least it is deep down).  You should set
this as a member variable of your bean class and write output through that.
Or, if you prefer, you could have the methods from which you want output
take a Writer object as an additional parameter.  The output of your bean
will then be part of the output of your JSP page.

Kind regards,

Chris Williams.
