Have you tried explicitly saying new Outerclass.InnerClass() ? maybe that will help. Zak

"Doesn't matter, you don't name an instance variable and a parameter the same thing."??? Unless I'm completely missing the point of your comment, "Of course you can." I do it all the time, and it's in lots of books that way. Prefixing with "this." separates the two variables. Your suggestion of looking at the generated code is a good one. Tomcat may have trouble parsing a JSP with an inner class, and be generating something different than what we'd expect. I don't see anything obviously wrong looking at the sample code.
