Change either learnjsp.Status or learn.Status so they refer to the same class.
I believe your problem is that you are creating a new instance of a bean "status" on the second page because your "class=" is different. Your class needs to be the same on both "usebean" references. Page1: <jsp:useBean id="status" class="<b>learnjsp.Status</b>" scope="session" /> Then the second page : <jsp:useBean id="status" class="<b>learn.Status</b>" scope="session" /> =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
