A bean is a class but a class isn't necessarily a bean.
There are certain things bean must do and certain things a bean must implement in
order to be called a bean but really it's just a class and behaves the same way as
class. Check out sun's site for more specifics.
I'm not going to code for you a class that has one variable in it (check out some
great books on this subject).
In order to use a class/bean that you have written you have to put it in a
directory that's in the classpath of your servlet engine. Then you have to give it
a name(id) that it will be known as in the JSP page:
<jsp:useBean id="clientEntry" class="com.instinet.crossroads.console.ClientEntry"
scope="session"/>
then use the id to get the class' properties:
<%= clientEntry.getName() %>
OR (i think)
<jsp:getProperty name="clientEntry" property="name"/>
OR (surely)
<%= clientEntry.getName() %>
