I am writing a jsp tag which stores a collection of javabean in page
context. I was trying to use this tag in my jsp, but with no success. I
am using tomcat 5.4

Here is my code:

public class man{
String name;

public void setName(String name){
this.name = name;
}

public String getName(){
return name;
}
}

public class ManTag extends TagSupport {

private String var;

public int doStartTag(){
try{
ArrayList men = new ArrayList();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
Man man = ...
men.add(man);
}

pageContext.setAttribute(var, men);

}catch(Exception e){
....
}
return SKIP_BODY;
}

public setVar(String var){
this.var = var;
}
}

Here is my jsp:

.....//import lab
<mytaglib:man var="goodman"/>
<c:forEach items="${goodman}" var="x">

<cut value="${x.name}"/>

</c:forEach>


But the server complains that

javax.servlet.ServletException: Unable to find a value for "name" in
object of class "XXXXXXX" using operator "."
