Problems with

[Abraham Kang <ab...@infogain.com>]

I was wondering if anyone could explain why "lname" variable is not defined
in the following JSP page:


        <bean:define id="lname" value="<%=Keys.SHOW_USER_TASKS%>"
type="java.lang.String" toScope="page"/>
        <bean:define id="lvalue" name="<%=Keys.USERNAME%>"
type="java.lang.String" toScope="page"/>

        <bean:write name="lvalue"/>

        <% out.println(lname); %>

Does anyone know why I am getting this error?


G:\Struts\wlpiApp\WEB-INF\_tmp_war_wlpiApp\jsp_servlet\_workliststruts.java:
397: Undefined variable: lname
    probably occurred due to an error in /worklistStruts.jsp line 56:
    <% out.println(lname); %>

Thanks,
Abraham

Did you remember the taglib directive at the top of your JSP? That is, you
need:

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>

Otherwise, your <bean:define> and <bean:write> tags will be silently
ignored. Annoying, but true. :-}
