Yes, you can have beans stored in different scopes with the same name.

I got bean name duplicate error when I tried

<jsp:useBean id="person" class="foo.Person" scope="page"></jsp:useBean>
Dog's name is: <jsp:setProperty name="person" property="name" value="harish" />
Dog's name is: <jsp:getProperty name="person" property="name" />

<jsp:useBean id="person" class="foo.Person" scope="request"></jsp:useBean>
Dog's name is: <jsp:setProperty name="person" property="name" value="harish" />
Dog's name is: <jsp:getProperty name="person" property="name" />

You cannot give the same id to different beans.
Change "person" to something else, it has to be unique.

Yes, Satou is correct.

Your original question is regarding having beans in different scopes with the same name. That is possible.

It's not possible to have two beans with the same id on the same page.
