"no setter method for ..."

          I got 7 same problems in compilation of different JSPs when I built petstore in
          the wls6.1.
          [execon] Error: translation of /productdetails.jsp failed: weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspException:
          (li
          ne 7): Error in using tag library uri='/WEB-INF/tlds/taglib.tld' prefix='j2ee':
          There is no setter m
          ethod for property 'numItems', for Tag class 'com.sun.j2ee.blueprints.petstore.taglib.list.SearchLis
          tTag'
          [execon] Error: translation of /product.jsp failed: weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspException:
          (line 10):
          Error in using tag library uri='/WEB-INF/tlds/taglib.tld' prefix='j2ee': There
          is no setter method
          for property 'numItems', for Tag class 'com.sun.j2ee.blueprints.petstore.taglib.list.SearchListTag
          I checked SearchListTag and there is setter method in there.
          Could anyone have solutions on them?
          Thanks.
          Jim

I have found this same problem in weblogic 8.1 and the only work around I saw was to have the same class in getter and setter both. ie if your tag is setting a String then when you write 'getter' it should return a String object.
          See if that works out !
          goodluck

The line corresponding in JSP file is ,
<ssmb:list name="src_" collection="sources" showAll='<%= "" + true %>'>
Please let me know if you have faced this issue before.

Have you written this tag in a tld or a tag file?
How have you declared the attribute "collection"?
Does the class which implements the custom tag <ssmb:list> have a method in it: public void setCollection(String collection) ?

Setter method for custom action attributes

Hello,
I'm using Sun App server. The container is saying I need to implement a setter method for a custom action attribute? I defined a set<variable() and this didn't fix the problem. What kind of setter method is it expecting?

nevermind, found solution

JAXB is not generating the setter method for my tag

Hi,
I am generating java classes form my .xsd file using JAXB.
The xsd definition has defnes a Form as a sequence of FormElement, where FormElement is a choice of graphical components like text etc. Form can have 0 or unbounded elements of typeFormElement
Example
<xs:element ref="sswfm:FormElement" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
It is creating the getter method for this tag like this-
java.util.List getFormElement();
but does not create setter method, namely, setFormElements which I would like to use when marshalling from swing to XML.
If i remove the maxOccurs="unbounded, it is creating the setter method for this tag.But i want to keep this tag as it it and needs the setter method also.
What should i do? Has one tried this before. HELP if you can
Thank you in advance.

Hi RavindraKshirsagar,
We have a problem like you faced. Our requirement is that, we need to generate dynamically the PERSON element in our javabean.
<xs:element name='SERVICE_REQUESTER'>
          <xs:complexType>
               <xs:sequence>
                    <xs:element ref='ORGANIZATION' />
                    <xs:element ref='PERSON' maxOccurs='unbounded' />
               </xs:sequence>
          </xs:complexType>
     </xs:element>For this maxOccurs, as JAXB is not generating any Setter Method. As we need to get data dynamically from external application. If you could help us in handling this case dynamically, it will be well and good.
Please send us the script / code asap.

Where is the "set" method for this ELEMENT?

Hi
I'm trying to understand the relationship between the DTD and XJS, and the JAXB generated code.
Consider the example DTD, XJS, and generated source code (i.e., "value07.java") for ELEMENT value07, below ...
QUESTION#1: Why is there no "set" method generated for ELEMENT "value07a" within the generated value07.java ???
QUESTION#2: How to I code the DTD/XJS in order to force the generation of a "set" method in value07.java???.
-- I want to be able to set a new value for ELEMENT "value07a" in order to generate an XML document containing the new value!!
(NOTE: the reason that ELEMENT value07 (as well as other ELEMENTs) has only a single subelement, is in order to satisfy the XSLT definition in a preexisting application.)

I discovered something similar this morning...i.e., for

<element-ref name="value07a" />
</content>
</element>
-- I did something like this...
Value7 v7 = new Value7();
for (int i=0; i< Value7_input_array.length; i++)
((List)(v7.getValue07A())).add(Value7_input_array);
Thanks for responding, barry!

Unable to find setter method for attribute: forceIdIndexFormula

When I try to use advanced dataTable tag and in particular the given property - I get the error.
What could it be?

In older versions of my faces "forceIdIndexFormula" , is not defined. So it errors out when u try to use it, since it doesnt know what forceIdIndexFormula is all about.
When u try to assign a value to a attribute it will call its corresponding setter method. Since it is not found it errors out.
The solution is you have to make use of the latest myfaces version which supports the forceIdIndexFormula attribute in the datatable.
Thanks

Why it cannot find the setter method for the attribute in my custom tag?

Hi, i have a custom tag like this:
<robin:category tModelKey="#{data.tModelKey}" > </robin:category>And in my tld file:
<tag>
      <name>category</name>
     <tag-class>category.component.HtmlCategoryTag</tag-class>
     <attribute>
         <name>tModelKey</name>
         <required>false</required>
         <rtexprvalue>false</rtexprvalue>
         <type>java.lang.String</type>
     </attribute>
</tag>
........................................and in my HtmlCategoryTag Class
public class HtmlCategoryTag extends HtmlPanelGridTag
private String tModelKey;
public String getTModelKey()
return tModelKey;
public void setTModelKey(String modelKey)
tModelKey = modelKey;
So,you see,generally speaking,to use a custom tag,we only to write a tag class,declare it in the tld file,nothing more.
What fints me is that if i change "tModelKey" to "test" and change the according part in the tag class , tld file and jsp file, the "setter not found" problem no longer exists,everything goes right!!!.
So why this happens? please help:)
Best Regards:)
Robin

Then you also need to create a UI element that extends HtmlPanelGrid
that has a tModelKey member and getters/setters. That object will hold
the information so that you can use it in your bean.Whoops... ignore that! Sorry. Attributes are simply stored in the component map component.getAttributes().
Add to your Tag class:
public void setProperties(UIComponent component) {
    super.setProperties(component);
    Tags.setString(component, "tModelKey", tModelKey);
public void release() {
    // see above
}Where Tags.java is:public class Tags {
    public static void setString(UIComponent component, String attributeName, String attributeValue) {
        if (attributeValue != null) {
            if (UIComponentTag.isValueReference(attributeValue)) {
                setValueBinding(component, attributeName, attributeValue);

Custom Tag: Cannot find setter method for attribute

This has been working fine in appserver6.5.
In the jsp:
=======
<display:table configFileDir="theDirectory"...>
=======
The tld entry:
<tag>
<name>table</name>
<tagclass>org.apache.taglibs.display.TableTag</tagclass>
<teiclass>org.apache.taglibs.display.TableTagExtraInfo</teiclass>
<bodycontent>JSP</bodycontent>
<attribute>
<name>configFileDir</name>
<required>false</required>
<rtexprvalue>false</rtexprvalue>
</attribute>
=============
In TableTag.java:
=============
private String configFileDir = null;
public void setConfigFileDir( String v )
     v = v.trim();
this.configFileDir = v;
============
Help, I'm going nuts.

Then you also need to create a UI element that extends HtmlPanelGrid
that has a tModelKey member and getters/setters. That object will hold
the information so that you can use it in your bean.Whoops... ignore that! Sorry. Attributes are simply stored in the component map component.getAttributes().
Add to your Tag class:
public void setProperties(UIComponent component) {
    super.setProperties(component);
    Tags.setString(component, "tModelKey", tModelKey);
public void release() {
    // see above
}Where Tags.java is:public class Tags {
    public static void setString(UIComponent component, String attributeName, String attributeValue) {
        if (attributeValue != null) {
            if (UIComponentTag.isValueReference(attributeValue)) {
                setValueBinding(component, attributeName, attributeValue);
            } else {
                component.getAttributes().put(attributeName, attributeValue);
    public static void setValueBinding(UIComponent component, String attributeName, String attributeValue) {
        FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        Application app = context.getApplication();
        ValueBinding vb = app.createValueBinding(attributeValue);
        component.setValueBinding(attributeName, vb);
}

Set Methods are not running

I am writing my first jsp. I have a bean that I am wanting to use and my understanding is that if I put the following commands in, that all the set methods for my properties will run in the bean automatically as long as the names of the properties are the same as those on the form.
<jsp:useBean id="MedicalBean" class="Project5.MedicalReimbursementRecord" scope="session"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="MedicalBean" property="*"/>
The form has a number of textboxes, each text box has a name of one of the properties in my bean. I put display in my bean and I know that it is never running any of the "set" methods for any of the properties. I know that it is indeed getting into my bean, as I have displayed which indicate that methods that I request are indeed running.
I have not "ACTION" parameter on the FORM, but I have looked at the examples in Tomcat and they have forms which do not have an "Action". I don't think this is a problem, but maybe I am wrong about that. If I put in the statement of:
<jsp:setProperty name="MedicalBean" property="GrpAcctNbr"/>
Then I get the error "Cannot find any information on property 'GrpAcctMbr' in a bean of type 'Project5.MedicalReimbursementRecord'"
So there must be something wrong with my setProperty statement, but what is it?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Can you show the relevant JSP code and set/get methods in the bean?
Sometimes this error is caused by capitalization. e.g. a request param of "myName" calls setMyName(). Also, your bean must have a no arguments constructor.
Also, if you don't specify an action,the form submits to the current URL so you should be ok. Are you sure that the JSP runs when the user submits the form?

Setter method not getitng called in the custom tag

Hi,
I have written a custom tag and I have declared an attribute in the tld file and have specified the setter method for the same in the java tag file but that setter method is not getting called...for rest of the attributes, the methods are getting called and not just for one!! any idea what could be the problem....
Regards
Deepak Saini

Do you have a getter method to match that property?
Post some example code - what does your tld define for this property, and what get/set methods have you defined for it?

Why do we need get and set methods?

It is considered good design practice to keep all class data private and
provide get and set methods for accessing the data in a controlled
manner.
So, instead of directly accessing the class data, you use getter and setters.
I do not really feel the need to use get and set methods.
How does that achieve encapsulation when ultimately the class data is being exposed?

A couple of reasons why to use get and set:
1. For example you can set an int value for month, if a user sets this to somting
higher than 12 (or 11 if it's zero based) you want to handle that by either
throwing an exception or adding a year for every time it can be devided by 12.
If you dont do it in set you'll have a whole bunch of methods that might need to
correct the value before retreiving the eventual date.
2. If for some reason you have security set up for certain values you can
implement this in the get method. When this is done somewhere else you have
a whole bunch of methods retreiving the info in other classes that need to check
first. (a canGet method could allso be used). Another good reason to use get
is when the information needs to be converted depending on the consumer
calling the get method.
3. If any logic in 1 or 2 changes you'll have a bunch of code to change.
If you feel there is no need to implement any security, error handling (on
compiling because get and set might throw something) or validation when
setting/getting these values there is still the argument of readabillity.
Eclipse has a feature that will generate getters and setters for you so it's not
like there is a lot of extra typing involved.
Got interupted whyle typig so sorry to repeat any answer given before.

Custom tag - unable to find setter method error

I see this compileException on IAS but not on BEA app server and iWS.
JSPProvider.processJSPFile(): jsp=searchContent.jsp, org.apache.jasper.compiler.CompileException
Unable to find setter method for attribute: input
The reason is because the custom tag has a setInput() that takes a String parameter while the getInput() returns an InputStream.
Should both get and set methods have the same type of parameters or is this a due to a bug in the app server ?

I was only going off info from the original post. The error specifically states "Unable to find setter method for attribute: input" with a lower case i for the input attribute. You also specifcally stated "The reason is because the custom tag has a setInput()" with a capital I for the setInput method. This would most definitely cause the error you were receiving. That is unless you corrected this between your original post and your followup testing.

No setter method found - custom tag

          Hi Guys
          When I attempt to access a .jsp that is making use of a custom tag library that
          I've written I'm seeing the following message:
          "weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspException: (line 1): Error in using tag library uri='/WEB-INF/LSTreeControl.tld'
          prefix='tree':
          There is no setter method for property 'colIndex', for Tag class 'com.levelseas.core.web.tag.treecontrol.LSSubmitParamTag"
          The method has a signature of:
          "public void setColIndex(String index) throws JspTagException"
          and the Class has a number of sets defined on it and this is the only one that
          is being complained about. If I remove this attribute then no complaint!
          I'm new to bea but have been around jsp for a while so I'm wondering if this is
          a feature of wls 6.1 and would love to know a way around it.
          Any help appreciated
          J


          Hi Guys
          Problem is almost certainly because I've gone and defined the get as returning
          an int, (hence no property!)

VOIMPL setter method doesn't invoke on clearing text

If we set some value to a text field , invoking VOIMPL setter method for the corresponding text field works fine , on clearing the text it doesn't invoke the same setter method (in effect ,previous value is exist behind the scenes)
what could be the reason ??

Hi    Alejandro,Vinay
Thanks for the replay , You are correct , it wont update   Please find the details

Set methods or typecasting objects with JAXB

Hi everybody,
I am working on an example with the JAXB, which in many ways is an extraordinary technology, but I have quite a problem.
I have compiled my schema with xjc - no problem, but i am missing to setMethods both of which is regarding a List. I've got
java.util.List getSparepart() and java.util.List getCategory() but am missing the two set methods and I don't understand why.
I have tried to solve the problem by defining the methods myself, which is allright right until the point where I use the methods.
Here is a snip of the code:
spTest.jaxb.CatalogType.VendorType vNowTemp = (spTest.jaxb.CatalogType.VendorType) objFactory.createCatalogTypeVendorType();
vNowTemp = vNow;
vNowTemp.setSparePartCategory(categoryResult);
vNowTemp = vNow;
result.add(vNowTemp);
The problem is that there seems to be no difference between vNow or vNowTemp at any point, which there should be.
I have tried to convert the java.util.List I get when I use getSparePart to a com.sun.xml.bind.util.ListImpl (which is the object type used within the classes JAXB's xjc produced) but this seems to be impossible.
Could any one help me on this one please

getSparePart().clear();
getSparePart().addAll(myNewList);
Hope this helps.
