Does demo.MyBean have a method setMyDate()? What do you expect should happen with this code?

[Vidya Lakshman]

This is the code in MyBean.

package demo;
import java.util.Date;

public class MyBean {
private String name;
private Date myDate;

public Date getMyDate() {
	return myDate;
}

public void setMyDate(Date myDate) {
	this.myDate = myDate;
}

public String getName() {
	return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {
	this.name = name;
}

}

BeanInput.jsp has a textbox wherein, I would enter the date & Iould want to print the dates in different format in BeanTag.jsp.

You can see in the error that OGNL is expecting MyBean.setMyDate() to take a String argument.
It sounds like this is not an uncommon problem.
