Hi All,
 
I am having a problem with accessing an instance of a bean class that was
instantiated at the application scope. 
 
I instantiated the bean by:
<jsp:useBean id="App" scope="application" class="WebSAR.AppVars" />
 
I have a method that is local to the page:
<%! public String getRandomFileName(HttpSession mySession, ServletContext
myApplication) {
    String rndFName = new String();    
    String dateString = new String();
    Calendar d = new GregorianCalendar();
    dateString = String.valueOf(d.get(d.MONTH)) +
String.valueOf(d.get(d.DAY_OF_MONTH)) + String.valueOf(d.get(d.YEAR));
    int randomValue = (int)((Math.random() * 10000) % 999); 
    
    rndFName = myApplication.App.getApplicationSARDirAbs() + "\\" +
String.valueOf(randomValue) + (String)mySession.getAttribute("UserName") +
dateString + ".sar";
    return rndFName;
}
 
I call the method from within the JSP:
<%
out.println(getRandomFileName(session,application));
%>
 
Now, the error:
[20/Feb/2001:15:15:42] info (   95): JSP: JSP1x compiler threw exception
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for
JSPd:\Netscape\Server4\https-mickler\config\..\ClassCache\_jsps\_CNPS\_submi
t_jsp.java:36: No variable App defined in interface
javax.servlet.ServletContext.
            rndFName = myApplication.App.getApplicationSARDirAbs() + "\\" +
String.valueOf(randomValue) + (String)mySession.getAttribute("UserName") +
dateString + ".sar";
                                    ^
1 error
 
I want to know how to get at the methods of the instance App of the AppVars
class.  Does anybody know how?
 
Any help would be much appreciated!
