You raise an interesting question. JSP custom tag libraries were added to the JSP 1.1 spec, the jsp:useBean, jsp:setProperty, jsp:getProperty were part of the earlier JSP spec. >From reading the JSP 1.1 spec, it is unclear to me whether a scripting variable defined by a JSP custom tag has to be a Bean in order to work with jsp:getProperty/jsp:setProperty. I know that the Tomcat Servlet 2.2/JSP 1.1 reference implemenation does not require a custom tag script variable to be a Bean. I don't know if this question has been addressed by the JSP spec group or not. In answer to your question, the first method below is the way the session scripting variable is designed to work. So that you don't have to embed Java code in a scriptlet to use it, the standard jsp:getProperty tag can be used. Weblogic has used the more strict interpretation of the JSP 1.1 spec. So you have to access the session scripting variable properties using a scriptlet. Regards, Glenn "Sriram Narayan (CTS)" wrote: > > hi > This is a usage question.
