The Beans are there to allow the variable to have different contexts. For
example
a bean can survive beyond the life of a page. It can live through a
request, a session, or "forever" (the applications life). This information
comes from the 1.0 spec and doesn't work with JServ yet (requires 2.1) :).
If you visit javasoft (www.javasoft.com) they have a link to the full spec.
The full spec is not meant to be a tutorial but seems to be fine. I hope my
ramblings have helped.

I'm experimenting with the old Sun JSP system under Apache (and hoping
Jakarta will be *much* better --- fully qualified class names??? yuch)
I'm not quite getting this useBeans stuff. For example, why would I
use the jsp:useBean tag instead of just declaring and instancing a
variable inside <%! %> tags? I'd always thought of Beans as some sort
of mini-application, but the examples use the Date class as a bean.
There is something I am not getting here.
Is there a good tutorial site on JSP or some reasonably complex
sample code I can read? The Sun docs tell me how to write the syntax,
but they are a little short on the why of it.
