Session Beans

[Chris Rae <cmlrae@hotmail.com>]

I can't seem to be able to create session beans.  I have the following set-up:

The first page creates the following beans:

<%@ page session="true" errorPage="Error.jsp" %>

<jsp:useBean id="s" class="String" scope="session"></jsp:useBean>
<jsp:useBean id="v" class="java.util.Vector" scope="session"></jsp:useBean>
<jsp:useBean id="p" class="com.sts.jsp.SessionParameters"
scope="session"></jsp:useBean> <%

s = new String( "Test" );
v.add( "Test" );

Then the second page attempts to access the session beans:

<%@ page session="true" errorPage="Error.jsp" %>

<jsp:useBean id="s" class="String" scope="session"></jsp:useBean>
<jsp:useBean id="v" class="java.util.Vector" scope="session"></jsp:useBean>
//<jsp:useBean id="p" class="com.sts.jsp.SessionParameters"
scope="session"></jsp:useBean> <%

out.println( "s=" + s + "<BR>" );
out.println( "v.size=" + Integer.toString( v.size() ) + "<BR>" );

Here is the output:

s=
v.size=0

Also, I get a ClassCastException if I uncomment the //<jsp:useBean id="p"
class="com.sts.jsp.SessionParameters" scope="session"></jsp:useBean> line.

This indicates to me that there is a problem with my
com.sts.jsp.SessionParameters class because there is no ClassCastException
thrown for the java.util.Vector class.

Here is my com.sts.jsp.SessionParameter class:

import java.util.*;
import com.sts.exception.*;

public class SessionParameters {

	private Hashtable PARAMETERS = new Hashtable();
	private final String FILE = getClass().getName();
}

I am completly confused by what's going on here.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
