Thank you all, that's what I'm looking for. Sorry about the confusion but this is my first time using velocity, but how to do you tell the servlet to pick up the URL parameter? If I have this parameter in my velocity template $number, and parse it to URL http://server.jsp?number=something, will the servlet just recognize this parameter if I assign a variable say String number = request.getParameter("number")?

You can save whatever information you need to pass to Velocity from the current session as a session attribute. As long as the servlet is in the same web application, the session attributes will be there. Tomcat also lets you share session attributes among applications within the same instance of Tomcat. http://server/app?parameter=something Barbara Baughman X2157 On Thu, 12 Oct 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I thought about that but unfortunately the value has to be passed even if > users don't use the form.
