Hi,

I am exploring Enterprise Java with JBoss 4.0.2 - I am trying to access and trying print out members via the expression language EL and face two problems:

- access to a scripting variable does not cause an error but also does not print out the variable's content

- acces to a scoped variable causes an error when requesting the jsp

Do you have any idea?

Here is the jsp's source code:

<%! class Test {
private int number;
public int getNumber() { return number; }
protected void setNumber(int number) { this.number = number; }
}

%>

<%
Test local = new Test();
local.setNumber(3);

application.setAttribute("global", local);
%>


<%-- No error but also no output! --%>
${local.number}


<%-- Error!

${global.number}
