URGENT: Jsp:Useben Not working with HashMap : Please HELP!

Question

Hi,
I have a bean called DocBean (name, id - properties);
another bean called DocListBean (in that add() will put the DocBean to a hashtable- hashtable is created in its constructor.
the servlet creates the DocList & Doc Beans and by using add method, put all the doc in the doclist bean.
then, i put that in the request
req.setAttribute("doclistbean", doclistbean);
I use System.out.println for counting the no.of docbeans in the doclist. in java file it displays
System.out.println(docList.count() );
(displays .. : 5)
I have a jsp file, which has
<jsp:useBean id="docList" class="docListBean" scope="request"/>
then i display,
System.out.println(docList.count() );
this displays - 0
I don't understand why the bean has no(size=0) docBeans(hashtable) in JSP file ; but the servlet file displays all the docBeans(hashtable) with size 5.
Please help me..

Answer 1

Probably because your servlet put it into the session with the name of "doclistbean", but your JSP tries to use it with the name of "docList".
