Thanks for replying Luc.
I tried changing the name of the bean (and removing the extra space) , and
JRun still blows up when it tries to compile.
Here's the new code in JSP:
<USEBEAN NAME="Customer" TYPE="bank.BankCustomer" LIFESPAN="page">
<SETONCREATE BEANPROPERTY="Name" VALUE="John Smith">
</USEBEAN>
<LOOP PROPERTY="Customer:BankAccount" PROPERTYELEMENT="Account">
<P>
<DISPLAY PROPERTY="Customer:Name"><BR> <!-- This is the faulty line.
-->
<DISPLAY PROPERTY="Account"><BR>
</P>
</LOOP>
Here's the LOOP portion of Java created by JRun:
{
Object[] Account = JSP.getIndexedProps(Customer,"BankAccount");
for (int jsp_array_idx0=0;jsp_array_idx0<Account.length;jsp_array_idx0++) {
out.println("");
out.println(" <P>");
out.print(" ");
{
byte[] jsp_default0 = {110,117,108,108};
String res = JSP.beanVal(Customer[jsp_array_idx0],"Name", new
String(jsp_default0));
out.print(res);
}
{
byte[] jsp_default0 = {110,117,108,108};
String res = JSP.beanVal(Account[jsp_array_idx0],"", new
String(jsp_default0));
out.print(res);
}
out.println("<BR>");
out.println(" </P>");
}
}
The problem is that JRun is treating the Customer variable is an array.
QUESTION: Does this only happen with JRun? I'm including my files in case
someone wants to try it out.
<<Accounts.jsp>> <<BadAccounts.jsp>> <<BankCustomer.java>>
Accounts.jsp uses <% %>, BadAccounts.jsp uses the DISPLAY tag (and doesn't
compile with JRun 2.3), and BankCustomer.java is the source for my Customer
bean.
Thanks,
Vaughn Wine

Subject: Re: Cannot access other bean properties in
LOOP
It should work. I can only think of two reasons why it
fails:
- Maybe JRun 2.3's implementation gets confused because you
use the same
name for your beans as for the name of their class.
I know the sun reference implementation of 0.92 would create
code like:
bank.BankCustomer
BankCustomer=(bank.BankCustomer)request.getAttribute("BankCustomer");
if (BankCustomer==null) {
// create a new bean, do the SETONCREATE stuff, etc.
}
While this code is valid, it's not so difficult to come up
with an example
that wouldn't compile. Perhaps sun should give some naming
guidelines for
the beans too, like using at least one lowercase character
at the start like
for normal variables.
- Since <% BankCustomer.getName() %> DOES work, the above
doesn't apply, and
the only thing that's left is the space in the property
parameter: <DISPLAY
PROPERTY=" BankCustomer:Name">.
JRun's parser probably searches for a bean with the name "
BankCustomer"
instead of "BankCustomer"...
