Hi Jin
Thanks for replying
How do I actually do that? Im kinda new to JSP so bear with me here.
I have done the following to the bean (made it static)
package parkingPrice;

public class parkingPricehandler{

    private static String thePrice;

    public parkingPricehandler() {
        //thePrice = null;
    }

        public void setPrice( String price ) {
        thePrice = price;
    }

    static public String getPrice() {
        return thePrice;
    }

}
but i still get the same error?
Any ideads, thanks , Mick

You have to either make the method a static one,
or instantiate an instance of your class to call
the method.
