I am creating a simple guest book in JSP in order to learn this technology. Currently I have two classes: guestbook/GuestBook.class and guestbook/Entry.class (I haven't finished the app yet, so I have only these classes) which are added into WEB-INF/libs/ and they're included properly. In my file index.jsp I am using guestbook.GuestBook class; its method returns Vector. When I iterate over entries and I'd like to print an author of the entry, I can see:

```
javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Property 'author' not found on type guestbook.Entry

```

I must add that Entry class is **public** and author attribute is declared in such way:

```
public String author;

```

So it is public, too. This is my code when I iterate over the entries:

```
<c:forEach items="${entries}" varStatus="i">
  <c:set var="entry" value="${entries[i.index]}" />
  <li><c:out value="${entry.author}" /></li>
</c:forEach>

```

and

```
entry.class.name

```

returns guestbook.Entry

The classes are in package guestbook (as you can guess), entries vector is passed to pageContext.

I do not know what is wrong with my way of doing it. Can anybody help me please with that? (Thanks in advance!)
