Hey Brice, I would agree I don't think it's finding your bean, as a result its trying to instantiate a Document object, and of course being an interface Document doesn't like someone trying to instantiate it.
If your object is in the app scope, your should just be able to use it. You could try doing a logic present tag and test to see if its really there. Otherwise you can always just enumerate through the attribute names/elements in the servlet context and see what's there. bn -----Original Message----- From: Ruth, Brice [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 31, 2003 2:47 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Store object in "application" scope OK, I'm having very little luck with this. I'm trying to pre-parse an XML document that is used by a few different JSPs, so that each of them doesn't need to do a <c:import> and <x:parse> - I've checked the source for the JSTL XML ParseSupport class to see what its doing, and it seems pretty basic (I'm not using filters, so its a bit simpler). I save the org.w3c.dom.Document to application scope, then, within the JSP, I do: <jsp:useBean id="varName" class="org.w3c.dom.Document"/> I'm getting an exception thrown of type java.lang.InstantiationException ... correct me if I'm wrong, but if its actually finding my object in Application scope, then it shouldn't be throwing this, right? Do I need the jsp:useBean at all? Or can I just start using $varName in my <x:forEach> statements, straight-away? Wiebe de Jong wrote: >I do the same thing.
