Subject: Problem using custom tags.
The following example is taken from Chapter 2 of "Advanced Java Server
Pages"
by David M. Geary
I'm getting this error when I try to implement to code sample below:
--
500 Internal Server Error:
Error parsing JSP page /test1.jsp line 13
Bean 'item' already defined
--
Has anyone any ideas what might be the problem?
***************
"test.jsp" code:
***************
<html><head><title>An Iterator</title></head>
<%@ taglib uri='/WEB-INF/tlds/iterator.tld' prefix='it' %>
<body>
<% java.util.Vector vector = new java.util.Vector();
vector.addElement("one"); vector.addElement("two");
vector.addElement("three"); vector.addElement("four");
%>
Iterating over <%= vector %> ...<p>
<--- declaration of item
<it:iterate id='item' collection='<%= vector %>'>
<--- declaration 2 of item
<!--<jsp:useBean id='item' scope='page' class='java.lang.String'/>-->
//above should not be necessary.
Item: <%= item %><br>
</it:iterate>
</p>
</body>
