TEI class- want to instantiate a Bean into the page

Question

I have a TEI class which I am using to add an object to the page.
          I am able to address this object by using (psuedo code below)
          <%= object.getName() %>
          however, if I try to call the object with a usebean tag, like
          <jsp:getProperty name="object" property="Name"/>
          I get an error:
          /myfile.jsp(40): object is not defined as bean
          probably occurred due to an error in /myfile.jsp line 40:
          <jsp:getProperty name="object" property="Name"/>
          any ideas on how to instantiate an object into the page so that it is a
          bean?
          right now I am using the code from the API_taglib.html document:
          public VariableInfo[] getVariableInfo(TagData data) {
          return new VariableInfo[] {
          new VariableInfo("object",
          "fully.qualified.classfilename",
          true,
          VariableInfo.NESTED),
          

Answer 1

Josh, I think you have to use "useBean". i.e. <jsp:useBean id="object"
          class="java.lang.Object" scope="page | request | session | application">
          before you can reference.
