Description dougdsa 2009-01-21 01:13:46 UTC 
I am coding several JSP's in the IDE which use beans. All of the JSP's can see the package.beanclasses exdept for a 
couple of JSP's using a newly coded bean, which resides in the same package as the other beans. When I run the 
project, all of the JSP's work up to the ones trying to access the new bean. The IDE tells me that the package in the 
<jsp:useBean id="beanName" class="package.beanName" scope="session" /> does not exist. I see this message at the top 
of the JSP source when I click on the red bullet. So far, I have tried creating a new package for the bean with the 
same results. I have checked that the JSP page itself is correctly formatted. I have checked the bean and it looks 
like the other ones in the same package, at least the first few common lines. I have even changed the bean to one the 
other JSP's can see, but then the IDE tells me that that package does not exist. Has anyone else had this experience? 
I am new to NetBeans, but not to JAVA.

Do you still see this problem?
Can you send us the project (or some other sample) that does not work for you? Thanks!

I suspect this may happen when the Java bean is not compiled yet. Does compiling it fix the problem? If not, can you
please provide detailed steps to reproduce? Thanks.
