Hi John, thanks for answering - you might be right on the issue I should use a EL tag instead of scriplet.
What i am basically interested in : When processing a jsp using a html:form tag, i guess html:form brings the current form bean object into some scope accessible to my jsp - but under what name does that tag expose it? My form bean is defined in struts config as <form-bean name="ParameterForm" type="com.ucpmorgen.mobiletix.app.param.ParameterForm"> </form-bean> Cause when used (please forgive my ignorance on your EL solution for now): <% if (ParameterForm.getStructure_changeable().intValue() == 1) { %> so.. uuupppps ... the jsp compiler always asked for a static method on ParameterForm. uuupppps , because I suddenly think that naming the variable like the class of form bean( the name after it is exposed later), is an most unlucky coincident, isn't it?!?!!? -> if is, then i should rename the bean name in the struts config. Anyway, is the exposed from bean cast to the correct type for usage : - inside EL-Tag you wrote it is correctly typed - but for scriplet, isn't it just exposed as being of type java.lang.Object ?!?! -----Original Message----- From: John Espey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sonntag, 23.
