>> To me, the main advantage (or difference) to use a jsp bean (<jsp:usebean ...> over a class bean, i.e. a normal java class, is that you can clearly specify the life cycle of your bean objects using the "scope" attribute. <<
How is this any different than simply placing the object/bean into the session scope by hand? My understanding is that the main advantage was supposed to be that the tag syntax is easier for WYSIWYG editors and design folks to understand. But in the real world I've not found this to be a significant advantage. I'd rather be able to avoid the empty-constructor restriction. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
