only "id" is required.
"id" set the name of the scripting variable AND context objet that tag will define for you. "toScope" set the scope to define the context object (PAGE by default) If you specify "name" and/or "property", bean:define will look for this object/property in "scope" (or in all scopes if not specified) for the value of the object to be define. If you specify a "value", tag will use it for the value of the object to be define. => so name/property and value should not be used together ! "type" sets the java type of the scripting variable to be set (java.lang.Object if omitted) So, you can use : <bean:define id="crs" value="My heebyjeeby string" type="java.lang.String"/> <!-- a "crs" object is defined in page scope + a String script variable --> <bean:write name="crs"/> <!-- or the scriptlet way : --> <%= crs %> Nico > Subject: <bean:define> question > From: "David Chu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > === > I am confused by the documentation concerning <bean:define>.
