Request to Bean

[Nabila Mohammad]

Hi !

I keep getting the error and have been getting it for quite some time and i cant figure out why it is invalid!

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /TestBean.jsp(1,1) The value for the useBean class attribute foo.Employee is invalid.

My code:


Person.java

  package foo;




public abstract class Person

{
String name;

public void setName(String name)
{

this.name=name;

}

public String getName()
{

return name;


}

}  

Employee.java

  package foo;


class Employee extends Person
{
 int empId;

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


public int getEmpId()
{
return empId;

}

}


  

TestBean.jsp

<jsp:useBean id="person" type="foo.Person" class="foo.Employee">
<jsp:setProperty name="person" property="name" param="username"/>
</jsp:useBean>    

Even when I would class="foo.Employee" with out the "type" , I would get the same error.

And it all loooks so simple!
