c'mon, read the code and help me out

Ryan Chong

maybe try change:

public void setChanged(boolean changed) {
this.changed = changed;
}

to:

public void setChanged(string changed) {
this.changed = (changed.equalsIgnoreCase("true"))?true:false;
}

?

ASKER

went through that, and the server responds
rg.apache.jasper.JasperException: Can't find a method to write property 'changed' of type 'boolean' in a bean of type 'coreservlets.beans.UserBean'

Ryan Chong

opps, should it be:

public void setChanged(String strchanged) {
this.changed = (strchanged.equalsIgnoreCase("true"))?true:false;
}
