jsp:getProperty parse error

[Ma...@pdb.sbs.de]

Dear List:

i am encountering some problems while trying to compile a jsp. The following tags:

----------8<------------
[line 03:]<jsp:useBean id="customer" scope="session" class="dbaccess.CustomerBean" />
[line 04:]<jsp:setProperty name="customer" property="*" />
... 
[line 21:] <%= customer.getCustomerID() %> )
[line 22:] <jsp:getProperty id="customer" property="tablename" />
----------8<------------

seem to be the cause of the parsing error. Having consulted many ressources i am still unsure
why the following exception is thrown. When i access the bean's content via <% =instanceName.getPropertyName() %> it works fine. Please enlighten me and save my day.

Change this to

    <jsp:getProperty name="customer" property="tablename"/>

The "id" attribute is used when you are *creating* a bean reference, but "name" is used everywhere else.
