importing a bean into a JSP required?

[Erik Price <ep...@ptc.com>]

Hi,

First let me thank everyone who has helped me already.  I really 
appreciate it.

Also, I noticed something that contradicts what I originally thought 
about the way that JSPs worked with beans a la the <jsp:useBean> tag.

 From trial and error, I've discovered that I get a class not found 
error in a stacktrace if I don't explicitly import my bean in the JSP 
using this code:

<%@ page import="UserBean" %>

but my original understanding, from reading "Core Servlets", was that 
this was not required if the bean is located in WEB-INF/classes or in a 
JAR file in WEB-INF/lib.  In my case the simple UserBean.class file is 
correctly located in WEB-INF/classes.  But simply using <jsp:useBean 
id="stringKeyStoredInSessionOnPreviousPage" class="UserBean" 
scope="session"/> isn't working unless I use the import JSP directive as 
mentioned above.

Am I wrong here?  (Probably.  Thanks for your input.)


Erik
