To begin with, what's the point of storing the package name in a variable? The problem is that "test2" is assigned at run time, while type is assigned at compile time (or is it the other way around? - I forget). The container is trying to assign a package name to type that doesn't yet exist.

When I directly give the package name for the type attribute, it works fine but when we define a variable to refer the package name and use it through JSP expression for the type attribute. It throws class cast exception. To elaborate... The code given below works fine : <bean:define id="formTest" scope="session" name="test" type="com.egm.fusion.VehicleForm" /> but if I give <%String test2 = "com.egm.fusion.VehicleForm";%> <bean:define id="formTest" scope="session" name="test" type="<%=test2%>" /> It gives the following exception java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Object at org.apache.struts.taglib.bean.DefineTei.getVariableInfo(DefineTei.java:87) Can anybody help on this.
