How to access Bean

If I use a bean in my JSp like
<jsp:useBean id="userInfo" scope="request" class="com.beans.UserInfo" />

I tried accessing this in my servlet like:
UserInfo u1= (UserInfo)request.getAttribute(userInfo)

but it doesn't work. How can i have this bean be available in the servlet?

Does UserInfo have a no args constructor?

Are you forwarding from your JSP to your servlet (if so, why?).
If not, request scope is probably not what you're looking for.

Does the keyboard burst into flames?

Seriously, "it doesn't work" doesn't tell us anything about your issue. What happened? What error did you get?

UserInfo is a bean that is populated with data that the user fills out in the form. On this page I just use the line below to display what he entered.
<jsp:useBean id="userInfo" scope="request" class="com.beans.UserInfo" />

The line above is used to display the data to the user before entering in the dbase like below.

value="<c

ut value="${userInfo.emailAddr}" />">

I need the bean in a servlet I forward to when the user agrees to having this data put into a Dbase.

You are forwarding to a servlet from a JSP? Please be explicit on the chain of events.
