Try putting in get/set methods for the object, then getting them that way, e.g.:
--------------
public Object getMyObject()
{
return myObject;
}
public void setMyObject(Object _o)
{
myObject = _o;
}
<% Object myObject = EX.getMyObject(); %>
--------------
The get/set methods will allow introspection.
Or, if you want to just get it directly, you need to have a semicolon on the end, like this:
--------------
<% Object myObject = EX.myObject; %>
--------------
For regular code in the jsp, you need to enclose it in <% %> and follow regular syntax rules. If your bean had a String property, you could get it this way:
--------------
<%=EX.myString%>
--------------
The <%= %> is shorthand for <% out.print( );%>.
Kinda confusing at first, but you get used to it. Hope this helps...

Oops it is supposed to be
<% Object myObject = EX.myObject %>
