ClassCastException where 2 jsp pages refer to 2 classes in same package

[dangari]

Hi all,

I have two jsp pages say jsp1 and jsp2.

In jsp1 I have the following line:

<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="Java" import="java.sql.*" %>
<jsp:useBean id="one" scope="session" class="mypackage.myclass1" />

In jsp2 I have the following line:

<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="Java" import="java.sql.*" %>
<jsp:useBean id="two" scope="session" class="mypackage.myclass2" />

At runtime, if I open jsp1 it opens and loads all data appropriately, but if I try accessing jsp2 via a link or button, I get th following error on Tomcat's stacktrace:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: java.lang.ClassCastException: mypackage.myclass1 cannot be cast to mypackage.myclass2

if I close the application and reopen it.If I access jsp2 and then try to access jsp1 I get the following similar message:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: java.lang.ClassCastException: mypackage.myclass2 cannot be cast to mypackage.myclass1

Please assist and know that your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

That should only happen if you have used the same id in both cases.
