Given the current syntax of useBean, I would say no - it won't support it. It
is probably worthwhile to take a closer look at the code that is generated by
useBean (this is from someone elses example that I still have lying around):
bean.Bean bean = (bean.Bean) session.getValue("bean");
boolean _specialbean = false;
if ( bean == null ) {
_specialbean = true;
try {
bean = (bean.Bean) Beans.instantiate(null, "bean.Bean");
}catch (Exception exc) {
throw new ServletException (" Cannot create bean of class
"+"bean.Bean");
}
session.putValue("bean", bean);
}
if(_specialbean == true) {
}
You will notice that when it finds that it doesn't have the bean, it
instantiates a new one. There is no reason why you couldn't write your own
library function to do this or petition Sun to include the feature (maybe
optional?). It is a very interesting idea!
