Printing JSP form data on another JSP page

Question

I have a jsp form that takes different inputs from user. How can I print the submitted data on another jsp page?

Two stage: 1. accept data (and store somewhere: session, database, url, cache) 2. print it. — Jacek Cz, Jun 14 '18 at 11:23

In your first JSP page:

<form method="post" action="otherPage.jsp">
   <input type="text" name="firstName">
   <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

then on the otherPage.jsp you can get the value of the input:

<%
    String name = request.getParameter("firstName");
    out.println("Firstname: " + name);
%>

..although using scriptlets is normally discouraged.

If you want to use e.g. Spring MVC you post the form to a Controller which handles the request and there you can pass the parameters forward.

..I have used the same solution..Is there any other way to do it? – Marium Jun 14 '18 at 10:41
@Marium ok, so you already know how to do it? why are you asking? – Jack Flamp Jun 14 '18 at 10:42
I'm asking if there is any other way to do the same – Marium Jun 14 '18 at 10:43
@Marium then you should have written that in your question. https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve. Alternatively you can use a web framework, like Spring MVC, J2EE, or anything else.. there are Many!! – Jack Flamp Jun 14 '18 at 10:45
Like putting the form data into an object and then printing the data from that object – Marium Jun 14 '18 at 10:46
@Marium look [here](https://spring.io/guides/gs/serving-web-content/) or [here](https://www.tutorialspoint.com/spring/spring_web_mvc_framework.htm) – Jack Flamp Jun 14 '18 at 10:48
"..although using scriptlets is normally discouraged." Then why post answer which uses technology that went out of fashion in the early 2000s. – Alan Hay Jun 14 '18 at 11:02
@AlanHay because he didn't mention anything else than JSP pages. – Jack Flamp Jun 14 '18 at 11:03
An answer using JSTL tags or JSP EL to output the data would be more relevant. – Alan Hay Jun 14 '18 at 11:06

The use of scriptlets in JSP is strongly discouraged:

You can achieve the same using JSP Expression Language (JSP EL):

<p>First name was ${param.firstName}</p>
