import package problems??

[Anonymous]

Hi
i have the foloowing jsp and bean files.
when i use
<jsp:useBean id="mybean" class="beans.StringBean" />
it works fine,because my bean it is in beans directory under classes directory(Tomcat3.1).
but when i use
<%@ page import="beans.*" %>
<jsp:useBean id="myBean" class="StringBean" />
i got an error message that says casnnot load stringBean class. Here are both files
package beans;
public class StringBean
{
private String message="No message specified ";
public void setMessage(String message)
{
this.message=message;
}
public String getMessage()
{
return this.message;
}
}
//============================
jsp file :
<jsp:useBean id="MyBean" class="beans.StringBean" />
<jsp:setProperty name="MyBean" property="message" value="hello world" />
<b><jsp:getProperty name="MyBean" property="message" /></b>

This may be way offbase, but make sure there are no upper/lower case typo's in your code like there were in your post.

casnnot load stringBean class

Just like JAVA, JSP is case sentitive. According to the code, it should have two different instance of "beans.StringBean". One is "mybean", another one is "myBean". Maybe even you import the package, jsp still require you to use the full class name includes the whole package for the "class=?".
