java.awt.Component is also in your classpath maybe c:out is trying to cast your object as that instead of x.y.z.Component?

Hi, I am not sure if this is a struts, taglib, or jstl issue but I will start here. I am using Struts/JSP's and am running into an error when I try and reference my own object called Component.class with <c:out> tag. I first load my test objects into the session in the jsp page like this: <% x.y.z.Component component = new x.y.z.Component(); x.y.z.Xomponent xomponent = new x.y.z.Xomponent(); session.setAttribute("comp2",component); session.setAttribute("xomp2",xomponent); %> Next I try and view the value of the name like this: <c:out value="${comp2.name}"/> Here is the error I am getting: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: An error occurred while evaluating custom action attribute "value" with value "${comp2.name}": An error occurred while getting property "name" from an instance of class x.y.z.Component (java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: object is not an instance of declaring class) I have played around with this a bit and set up a small test environment. Here is my application list: Tomcat 4.1.18 Struts 1.1 rc1 Java 1.3.1_06-b01 I have found that I can use the Runtime JSTL core tag like this and it works fine: <crt:out value="<%=((Component)session.getAttribute("comp2")).getName()%>"/> I can also use the <jsp:useBean> tag like this and it works fine: <jsp:getProperty name="comp1" property="name"/> I have also found that if I take the exact same class and simply rename it to Xomponent instead of Component and keep it in the same x.y.z package, it works. So I can then do: <c:out value="${xomp2.name}"/> Any ideas on this? I have my very small test beans and jsp page if someone needs them.
