I can't figure out why my jsp page won't display a list I created in a servlet and added to the session. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've looked at a lot of answers but I can't find one to fix this.
The output I'm getting is;
Summary of artist information
Surname Fname nationality birth
So the table headings are being displayed but not the actual values.
Artist Class
public class Artist {
private String firstname;
private String surname;
private String nationality;
private int birthyear;
public Artist(String F, String S, String N, int I){
this.firstname=F;
this.surname=S;
this.nationality=N;
this.birthyear=I;
}
public String getFirstName(){
return firstname;
}
public String getSurname(){
return surname;
}
public String getNationality(){
return nationality;
}
public int getBirth(){
return birthyear;
}
}
