Unable to find setter: a problem with custom tag in TC 4.0.4b2

[Vernon Wu]

Hi, all,

I run into an error message on Tomcat 4.0.4b2 when I use a custom tag in a JSP   file. 
The error message is:

/jsp/fullsearchlist/content.jsp(4,0) Unable to find setter method for attribute:   
numItems

The code fragment is  the followings:

public abstract class ListTag extends TagSupport {
        // ...
  protected int numItems = -1;
        //...

  // setters
  public void setNumItems(String numItemsStr) {
    numItems = Integer.parseInt(numItemsStr);
  }
}

public abstract class SearchListTag extends ListTag {
        //...
  // setters (overloaded to fix bug in tomcat)
  public void setNumItems(String numItemsStr) {
    super.setNumItems(numItemsStr);
  }
}

public class FullSearchListTag extends SearchListTag {
        //...
  public void setNumItems(String numItemsStr) {
    super.setNumItems(numItemsStr);
  }
}

I have tried to remove the setNumItems method from SearchList and/or   FullSearchList, 
but can't resolute the problem. 
I
learn that there was a bug led to this problem in the early version of Tomcat. Is   
the bug unresolved yet? How I can
overcome this problem?

Thanks very much in advance.

Vernon
