That's not a class, it's a value setup within the framework to store
beans in the request/session/whatever you told it to.
(Specifically, it is in org.apache.struts.taglib.html.Constants)
...
...
/**
* The name of this package.
*/
public static final String Package =
"org.apache.struts.taglib.html";
/**
* The attribute key for the bean our form is related to.
*/
public static final String BEAN_KEY = Package + ".BEAN";
...
...
It might seem non-intuitive to some people to see what looks like a
class, but it is the best thing to help you debug your pages and not
step on one of your attributes since you can (for some tags) specify any
value you want.
Imagine you have an application that sets 5 beans with 15 fields each in
the request under various keys, one of which is called "customerBean".
Let's assume that for some reason you mispelled it on your jsp page as
"customerBaen".
So you have this.
<bean:write name="customerBaen" property="address"/>
When you go to this page you get a big stack trace in your face. Now,
how do you know where to look? What caused it? With 5 beans (75
fields) to display, all struts knows is that you wanted a bean called
'customerBaen' and it wasn't there.
Struts has no idea that it was a
com.mycompany.struts.framework.customer.view.AuthorizedCustomer so it
simple tells you it 'couldn't find bean customerBaen under any scope'.
AHA!!! That's it!! I just search my jsp for 'customerBaen', fix the
typo and I'm back up and running.
The problem is that the Struts taglibs are so friendly, that it is a bit
confusing to people who are new to the framework. I should know, I
hated trying to figure out that damn message when I first started...LOL!
Good luck!!
