## org.apache.struts2.components
Class Bean

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.struts2.components.Component
          org.apache.struts2.components.ContextBean
              org.apache.struts2.components.Bean

    public class Bean

extends ContextBean

Instantiates a class that conforms to the JavaBeans specification. This tag has a body which can contain a number of `Param` elements to set any mutator methods on that class.

If the var attribute is set on the BeanTag, it will place the instantiated bean into the stack's Context.

- var - the stack's context name (if supplied) that the created bean will be store under
- name* - the class name of the bean to be instantiated (must respect JavaBean specification)

Examples:

     <-- in freemarker form -->
     [@s.bean name="org.apache.struts2.example.counter.SimpleCounter" var="counter"]
       [s:param name="foo" value="BAR"/]
       The value of foo is : [s:property value="foo"/], when inside the bean tag.

     [/s:bean]

     <-- in jsp form -->
     <s:bean name="org.apache.struts2.example.counter.SimpleCounter" var="counter">
       <s:param name="foo" value="BAR" />
       The value of foot is : <s:property value="foo"/>, when inside the bean tag <br />
     </s:bean>

This example instantiates a bean called SimpleCounter and sets the foo property (setFoo('BAR')). The SimpleCounter object is then pushed onto the Valuestack, which means that we can call its accessor methods (getFoo()) with the Property tag and get their values.

In the above example, the id has been set to a value of counter. This means that the SimpleCounter class will be placed into the stack's context. You can access the SimpleCounter class using a Struts tag:

     <-- jsp form -->
     <s:property value="#counter" />

     <-- freemarker form -->
     [s:property value="#counter.foo"/]

In the property tag example, the # tells Ognl to search the context for the SimpleCounter class which has an id(key) of counter

  Description copied from class: `Component`
  Callback for the start tag of this component. Should the body be evaluated?

  Overrides:
    `start` in class `Component`
  Parameters:
    `writer` - the output writer.
  Returns:
    true if the body should be evaluated

  Overrides:
    `end` in class `Component`
  Parameters:
    `writer` - the output writer.
    `body` - the rendered body.
  Returns:
    true if the body should be evaluated again

### addParameter

  Description copied from class: `Component`
  Adds the given key and value to this component's own parameter.

  If the provided key is `null` nothing happens. If the provided value is `null` any existing parameter with the given key name is removed.

  Overrides:
    `addParameter` in class `Component`
  Parameters:
    `key` - the key of the new parameter to add.
