1.) The scope attribute tells the JSP engine where to look for your bean if you're using the "type" attribute or, if you're using the "class" attribute, it will determine which scope object your bean will be bound to.

2.) Which attribute are you asking about?


There is a copy of the JSP Specification in my signature.
If you plan on developing with JSP it really is a 'must read'.

1. whats the difference between scope=application and scope=session in the usebean tag??to what extent will the bean object be available in either cases??

2.i was asking about the session attribute in the page tag

<%@ page language="java" session="true" %>
what does session=true mean??

3. if i were to use the same bean for performing various operations in different jsp pages,when i create an object for it using usebean on every page,does it overload my webserver's heap memory??i am using the apache server with 96 mb as my heap memory limit.
is there any way of optimizing the heap memory usage??

Thanks
