Ricardo: Thanks for the explanation. It worked. Actually, I do not have any package. I followed what you said and included the import. I am able to access the bean!
But here is another: I have a method in the bean that returns a String. I am tryi1ng to print that value in the browser using JSP. This is what I have in th JSP: <%@ page language="Java" %> <%@ page import="xyz"%> <jsp:useBean id="abc" scope="page" class="xyz" /> <%! String c=null; %> <%=request.getParameter("username")%> <%=request.getParameter("password")%> And the name: <%=abc.returnX() %> What I get in theh browser is just a 1. What am I missing here?
