I'm a beginner :-)

Good to have an alternative like the above. I was using 
an in line creation and I then stumbled across the problem that 
the CmsActionElement was already defined (in my head.jsp) while
it was defined again in foot.jsp.

Can you explain in a few words what the advantage of 
the <jsp:Bean construct is?
