The <bean:define> tag differs from <jsp:useBean> in several ways, including: * Unconditionally creates (or replaces) a bean under the specified identifier. * Can create a bean with the value returned by a property getter of a different bean (including properties referenced with a nested and/or indexed property name). * Can create a bean whose contents is a literal string (or the result of a runtime expression) specified by the value attribute.
