jsp:useBean exception

hi,
i am trying an example of useBean standard action.

Here is my TestBean.jsp

and PrintBean.jsp

and my employee class

public class Employee {

private int empId;
private String name;

String getName(){
return this.name;
}

void setName(String n){
this.name = n;
}
int getEmpId(){
return this.empId;
}

void setEmpId(int n){
this.empId = n;
}

}

when i give values in testBean.jsp and click submit, i am getting org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Cannot find any information on property 'name' in a bean of type 'Employee'

can some one point out what is problem here. i checked naming conventions of employee bean. they seem to be fine.
thank you

AFAIK, as of JSP 2.0, referring to any classes from the unnamed or default package is not allowed. Try storing your class in a package.

lets know what exception you are getting......i mean some more information about the exception that you are receiving....try just see whats happening when you just add the bean than setting the property......may be something related to the method names being used....

hi dumitru,
i moved employee bean to a package named foo.

and changed useBean tag to reflect package name

now i am getting

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Cannot find any information on property 'name' in a bean of type 'foo.Employee'

I am using JDK 1.5 and tomcat 5.

Please be sure to use code tags when posting code to the forums. Unformatted code is extremely hard to read and many people that might be able to help you will just move along to posts that are easier to read. Please read this for more information.

You can go back and change your post to add code tags by clicking the

button on your post.

Then carefully inspect your bean class. I saw the problem in seconds (even without the code tags).

public getters and setters i think, i am going to try now.

yes. public setters and getters resolved problem. thank you BB

Bingo!
