        this.valid = valid;
    }

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }

    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setLastName(String lastName) {

      public  MyBean getMyPropertiesFile(){   
              MyBean myBean= new MyBean();
              InputStream in = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("com/resources  /config.properties");
                  try {
                       configProp.load(in);
                       String  firstname=configProp.getProperty("firstname");       
                       String  lastname=configProp.getProperty("lastname");
                       myBean.setFirstName(firstname);
                       myBean.setLastName(lastname);
                       myBean.setValid(true);
                         } catch (IOException e) {
                                   e.printStackTrace();
                        }
        
               return myBean;

        <%!String myFirstName;%>
        <%!String myLastName;%>
        <%
        MyBean myBean=new MyBean();
        LoadMyProperties loadMyProperties=new LoadMyProperties();
        myBean=loadMyProperties.getMyPropertiesFile();%>
        <% if (myBean.isValid()) {
            myFirstName=myBean.getFirstName();
            myLastName=myBean.getLastName();
        %>       
        <% } else { %>
            <p> No data in properties file</p>
