I have a couple of wild guesses to make. Are you using Tomcat, and just using the Manager to "reload" your application, after you added the references to "html-el:html"? If so, do a "remove" on the application and reinstall it. If that works, I think this might be a bug/feature in Tomcat, wrt reflection, classloading, and BeanInfo classes. -- =================================================================== David M.
