Confused about setting up Bean

Hi,

I am confused about setting up the Bean to be called from jsp.

I want a bean called page1, called from page1.jsp with variables:
rfcoverten, rfcoverage, rfcoverflt.

Are the variables stored in the bean created in bean called page1.java
or stored in another file.
Is the Primary key set as a string not int??

I have a database connection file SqlDB.java that connects to the
page.
With a method(?) connect

public bollean connect() throws classNotFoundException, SQlException{
Class.forName(dbDriver);
dbcon = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL);
return true;
}

In JSP I can call the 'method' by using a scriplet
<%
SqlDB.connect();
%>

How do I access the SqlDB.connect method in the bean to retrieve and
store
the information, so that I can retrieve it in the jsp

<!--page1.java
-->
public class page1{
	private string surID ="null";
	private int rfcoverten = 0;
 	private int rfcoverage = 0;
	private int rfcoverfl = 0;


	public  String getsurID(){
	return(getsurveyID)
	}

	public void setsurID(String surID){
	if (surID != null){
	    this.surID = surID;
	    }
	}

	public int getrfcoverten(){
	return(rfcoverten);
	}

	public void setrfcoverten(int rfcoverten){
	this.rfcoverten = rfcoverten
	}
}


<!-- page1.jsp
-->
<jsp:useBean id="page1" class="page1" />

<td><jsp:getProperty name="*" property="page1.rfcoverten"/> </td>
<td><jsp:getProperty name="*" property="page1.rfcoverage"/> </td>
<td><jsp:getProperty name="*" property="page1.rfcoverfl"/> </td>


<!-- end page1.jsp
-->
