Hope someone can help. Thanks.

im not entirely sure, but I think some time ago they changed the JSP to require you to use a package for all the things that are used with <jsp:useBean/> tag.

So, can you try to change your class to be in any package, not the default top level no package. e.g. I usually use "jsp" or "web" as my generic but useless package to stuff all my simple things in.

ooo, thanks got it working already.
I used to develop in JDK 5, don't have the habit of reading updates.
