Subject: jsp exception with useBean . <%= ...%>
From: Les Dunaway <Le...@Mindspring.com>

Folks,

I'm feeling very dumb here.  I'm using struts templates and they work, 
but when I imbed a <%= someid.someMethod() %> in a sidebar.jsp which was 
put'ed and then get'ed, I get jsp exception.  When I run with 
sidebar.html (below) all is well.

Is it allowed to use <%= ...%> in a .jsp processed by 
template.put/get????  Or is there some incantation I've ommitted?

Les
