Hi fellow struts users, I have been toiling with the following problem, and have not been able to solve it even after looking at the Struts source and thoroughly checking the mail archive. I wonder if it is a bug with Struts (?). The reason I dare say that the problem may lie with Struts is that my code works the first few times, but then fails. Here's a description: I have an Action class that creates a couple of javabeans and places them on the request. The JSP then displays them. The FIRST time I put my URL in the browser, I see the results of the JSP correctly. Now, if I modify the JSP (say, add a space and then delete it) and use the same URL, the whole thing gets recompiled, and again I see the JSP output correctly. OK so far. Then, when I use the same URL again, I get the following message: <May 4, 2001 10:46:59 AM CDT> <Error> <HTTP> <[WebAppServletContext(3068837,InfoportalJava)] Root cause of ServletException javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Exception accessing property ichannelType for bean anICLEntryBean: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: object is not an instance of declaring class at org.apache.struts.taglib.logic.CompareTagBase.condition(CompareTagBase.java: 239) at org.apache.struts.taglib.logic.EqualTag.condition(EqualTag.java:90) at org.apache.struts.taglib.logic.ConditionalTagBase.doStartTag(ConditionalTagB ase.java:218) at jsp_servlet._jsp._ichannel._displayiclist._jspService(_displayiclist.java:13 5) at weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspBase.service(JspBase.java:27) at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletStubImpl.invokeServlet(ServletStubImpl.java :208) at weblogic.servlet.internal.RequestDispatcherImpl.forward(RequestDispatcherImp l.java:149) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.processActionForward(ActionServlet.ja va:1697) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1540) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doGet(ActionServlet.java:491) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:740) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletStubImpl.invokeServlet(ServletStubImpl.java :208) at weblogic.servlet.internal.WebAppServletContext.invokeServlet(WebAppServletCo ntext.java:1127) at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletRequestImpl.execute(ServletRequestImpl.java :1529) at weblogic.kernel.ExecuteThread.execute(ExecuteThread.java:137) at weblogic.kernel.ExecuteThread.run(ExecuteThread.java:120) This is caused by the compiled code that corresponds to the following Struts tag: <logic:equal name="anICLEntryBean" property="ichannelType" value="<%= java.lang.Integer.toString(com.covia.jcore.CVICLEntry.TYPE_ICHANNEL) %>"> ... (the 'value' attribute evaluates to a String such as "2".) Now, my javabean certainly has a property called 'ichannelType'; in fact, I wrote some code that tests that this bean property exists when the javabean gets placed on the request. So I don't see why that works for a few times at first and then fails. Any ideas on the subject will be greatly appreciated. In case this is necessary, I am using BEA Weblogic as a JSP container. thanks, Iraklis
