In servlet if we have


jsp code :


In the generated servlet:


Runtime exception is thrown



and in case we have something apart from null in the request attribute:


the generated servlet has:

Whooaah! Very strange.

From what I have learnt, I think the generated servlet for a given jsp should be the same irrespective of what some other servlet does before calling it.

Could someone please clarify.

ps: which container are you using?

results in



and in case we give class attribute


results in

From the syntax ref:

The <jsp:useBean> element locates or instantiates a JavaBeans component. <jsp:useBean> first attempts to locate an instance of the Bean. If the Bean does not exist, <jsp:useBean> instantiates it from a class or serialized template.
