what about creating a instance of the class of the bean.
so st like : Name tempClass = new Name();
then call all the setters on the existing bean with the getters on the bean.
name.setXXX(tempClass.getXXX());
...
and so on..
afterwards set tempClass back to null : tempClass=null, so it can be gc-ed.
better write a globalset/get for your class, then you can use :
name.setAll(tempClass.getAll());
hope this helps

Subject: unsetting bean w/ session scope
i use a bean with session scope in all of my JSPs in a particular app
i'm working on by using the following:
<jsp:useBean id="name" class="Name" scope="session"/>
however, i've need to reset this particular bean at some point...i tried
this by running the following:
name = new Name();
this did not work...is there any workaround to restore a bean w/ session
scope back to it's original state?
thanks!
