JPilot mock Ques jsp:useBean

[mallika shah]

Hello Friends,
here is a question from JPilot exam,

Which of the following are valid uses of the <jsp:useBean> action?
A.
<jsp:useBean id="myBean" class="MyBean" scope="session">
B.
<jsp:useBean id="myBean" class="MyBean"/>
C.
<jsp:useBean id="myBean" class="MyBean" beanName="SomeOtherBean"/>
D.
<jsp:useBean id="myBean" type="MyBean">

My answers were A and B, but it says B and D..
why so?
what is wrong with A??if you say A is not ending with a forward slash"/" but its the same with D. and why is D selected as correct ans?

thanks,
mallika

As far as my knowledge goes, D is wrong since if only type attribute is specified without class attribute, then bean should exist already and hence jsp:useBean should have closing tag.
Correct me if I am wrong.

could you please let me know the jpilot exam link ..for mock SCWCD exam.


as i am planning to take up the exam by end of this month..

I think A is incorrect only because of not having a closing tag.
B is correct, C is incorrect because Class and beanName cannot exist together.D is correct and i dont think if a bean is already present as is the case with D, the tag should be closed.(They are 2 different things. If this is wrong pls let me know y?)

well given answers are correct ie B & D.

Option A: <jsp:useBean> syntax is wrong (it is not closed properly)
Option B: No problem with this
Option C: useBean attribute class & beaNmae can't appear together.
Option D: also a valid one.

Hi,

should not closing a tag mean using either if these options
1. </jsp:useBean>
2.specify /> at the end. (eg: <jsp:useBean id="name" class="" type="" />

In both options A and D none of these two forms exist. Then why is A incorrect for not having a proper closing tag where as D is correct even though it also doesnot have one closing tag?

Hi,
thanks for pointing that having a body and closing tags are two different things. I have doubt though.
