   public StudentBean()
   {
    this.name="";
    this.roll="";
   }
   public void setName(String name)
   {
    this.name = name;
   }
   public String getName()
   {
    return name;
   }
   public int getRoll()
   {
    return roll;
   }
   public void setRoll(int roll)
   {
    this.roll = roll;
   }
}
