problem with PARAM tag in JSP 0.91

[Richard A. Sand]

Hi and sorry for asking a question about a very outdated version.  I'm using
IBM's WAS which only supports 0.91.

I have a bean that I'm trying to instantiate with a jsp page.  If I leave
out the PARAM tag, it loads, but if I add the PARAM tag, I get "Error
getting compiled page. 3,27: no name in PARAM tag.".

Can someone please point out my error?

The JSP is simple:

<BEAN name="getfields" type="Ipa.Getfields">
<PARAM pathinfo="/rsand/">
</BEAN>

I can't see an error in my bean either:

public class Getfields {
   ...
   protected String pathinfo;

   public String getPathinfo() {
      return pathinfo;
   }

   public void setPathinfo(String var){
      this.pathinfo = var;
      ...
   }
}

I'm new to java programming in general and JSP/serlvets/beans in particular.
What I'm trying to accomplish is simply a way to have my jsp pass the http
request path to the bean.  I intend to replace the string "/rsand/" with
<%=request.getPathInfo()%>.  I don't know if that works within a PARAM tag,
because I can't seem to get that far!  If someone knows a better way I'd be
happy to hear it!

Thanks for any help!
