It's hard to answer that question in general. From my perspective, there's little reason to use <jsp:useBean> as of JSTL 1.0, though there are exceptions: <jsp:useBean> is useful to instantiate an instance of a class that has a no-arg constructor (such as java.util.Date or java.util.HashMap). The broader issue is that JSTL and JSP 2.0 tend to replace most need for scriptlets, and thus most of the reason for <jsp:useBean>. -- Shawn Bayern "JSTL in Action" http://www.jstlbook.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
