Help with define tag

[Chuck Stern <cs...@safenetconsulting.com>]

Hi,

I think I'm missing something here.  I have a bean that is available to my
page in the request scope.  Within that I have another bean that has
properties I want to display.  I'm trying to use the define tag to get a
reference to the embedded bean and I'm getting the infamous:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: No getter method for property homeAddress of
bean policyHolderInfo

Here's the code -
In my bean policyHolderInfo bean attached to the request obj:

public AddressInfo homeAddress;

public AddressInfo
getHomeAddress(AddressInfo homeAddress)
{
    return homeAddress;
}

public void
setHomeAddress( AddressInfo homeAddress)
{
    this.homeAddress = homeAddress;
}

My jsp tag is:
<bean:define id="policyHolderAddress" name="policyHolderInfo"
property="homeAddress" />

All other getters on the policyHolderInfo bean work just fine.

Am I doing something wrong or is there another way to do this?  Any
suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chuck

Your property support must looks like -

public AddressInfo
getHomeAddress()
{
    return homeAddress;
}

public void
setHomeAddress( AddressInfo homeAddress)
{
    this.homeAddress = homeAddress;
}

Is your getter method really as you posted it? That just returns the 
parameter it is passed. It should be this:

public AddressInfo getHomeAddress()
{
     return this.homeAddress;
}

Note the absence of the parameter. The rest looks fine, although I would 
advocate making the homeAddress member private instead of public.
