Struts : Accessing a javabean inside a JSP

[Il Nerbo]

Hi,
this is my problem: i've created a JavaBean inside an Action and i've added the bean to the session. I want to display the value of the bean's property 'username' in the jsp pointed from action (i.e. the jsp on wich the action execute forwarding)
into the JSP the property results empty, but inside the action relate i can access correctly to it.
Here's my situation:
UserBean userBean; // only private String username; with get()/set()
Login.jsp - LoginAction.java // the JSP + the action related
into LoginAction.java I perform:

UserBean userBean =
(userBean)(Beans.instantiate(this.getClass().getClassLoader(), "UserBean"));          
userBean.setUsername("XXX");
httpServletRequest.getSession().getServletContext().setAttribute("userBean",userinfoBean);

LoginAction forwards to Search.jsp , on which i write:

<jsp:useBean id="userBean" scope="session" class="UserBean" />
...
<jsp:getProperty name="userBean" property="username" />
<% 
    String str = userBean.getUsername(); 
%>

<bean:write name="userBean" property="username" scope="session"/>

None of three access to bean returns a String different fron "".
But in the action related to Search.jsp i perform:

UserBean userBean = (UserBean)(httpServletRequest.getSession().getServletContext().getAttribute("userBean"));
String username = userinfoBean.getUsername();

And it goes well...
Conclusion: i cannot access to bean inside jsp, but i can into Action... Any tips?
Sorry for my poor english!
Thanks in advance,
Nerbo

Dear Nerbo
It seems you are totaly new to Struts framework. If you are creating the bean inside the Action Class then there is no need of defining it again in the jsp. Also if you simply want to display it in the jsp page then simply send the username to the jsp, and in the jsp use request.getParameter("username") to access it and display it in the browser.

I've found my (stupid) error. Instead of

httpServletRequest.getSession()[B].getServletContext()[/B].setAttribute("userBean",userinfoBean);

I must write

httpServletRequest.getSession().setAttribute("userBean",userinfoBean);

It was not involving Struts, only servlet things.
Therefore, the bean that i must create is not a Struts bean, simply a classic bean.
Thanks!
