use servlet context in a bean

[KY K Lui <ky...@mailcity.com>]

i want to use bean in my jsp page.

I have a application scope bean which has id="beanid"

How can other bean access this application bean?
can i use "getServletContext().getAttribute("beanid");"?
however if i use this, my bean needs to extends HttpServlet.

i like a servlet rather than a bean.......
am i right?

thanks

No.  You should create a bean called "WebBean" or something to that nature.
WebBean should have a method called initialize which initializes all the jsp
objects
in your bean so you can use them.

Ex.
<jsp:useBean class="foo" id="f" scope="application">
</jsp:useBean>

<% f.initialize(application, session, request, response ,out); %>
