jsp:getProperty giving "According to TLD, tag jsp:getProperty must be empty, but is not" exception

I have a simple html page where I pass two values, a name (String) & the number of nights (int) to a jsp page. There I use a jsp:useBean tag & a jsp:setProperty tag. When I replaced <%= myRes.getName() %> with <jsp:getProperty name="myRes" property="name"> it gives a long exception report. But when I reload the page twice it gives the correct output. The exception report is given below.

    org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:334)
    javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:722)

My bean class is :

package hotel;

public class Hotel
{
    private String name;
    private int nights;

    public Hotel()
    {
        this.name = "<NOT SPECIFIED>";
        this.nights = -1;
    }

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

    public String getName()
    {
        return this.name;
    }

    public void setNights(int nights)
    {
        this.nights = nights;
    }

    public int getNights()
    {
        return this.nights;
    }

Then my first html page is :

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Hotel Califona Reservation</title>
</head>

<body>
    <h2 align="center">Welcom To The Hotel Califonia</h2>
    <br/>
    <br/>
    <form method="post" action="hotel_jsp_bean_one.jsp">
        <label>Enter your name : <input type="text" name="name"/>
        <br/>
        <label>How many nights : </label><select name="nights">
                                            <option value="1">1</option>
                                            <option value="2">2</option>
                                            <option value="3">3</option>
                                            <option value="4">4</option>
                                          </select>
        <br/>
        <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Reserve"/>
    </form> 
</body>
</html>

Then my final jsp page is :

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8" language="java" import="java.sql.*" errorPage="" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Hotel Califonia Reservation</title>
</head>

<jsp:useBean id="myRes" class="hotel.Hotel" scope="page"/>
<body>
    <jsp:setProperty name="myRes" property="*"/>

    <h3 style="color:#0000FF"><jsp:getProperty name="myRes" property="name"> is staying for <jsp:getProperty name="myRes" property="nights"> nights</h3>
</body>
</html>

Please forgive me for any inconvenient mistakes I've overlooked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This is not valid:

<jsp:getProperty name="myRes" property="name"> is staying for <jsp:getProperty name="myRes" property="nights">

It should be:

<jsp:getProperty name="myRes" property="name"/> is staying for <jsp:getProperty name="myRes" property="nights"/>

Note the closing / at the end of each getProperty.

I ran into this problem today in a JSP/Servlets class. I believe that the solution to this is to put a / to close out the tag in your final JSP page.

I overlooked closing out the tag, and after putting the / in, my page worked flawlessly.
