You're already 95% there. If you look in the docs you see that getAttribute
returns "Object", so you have to cast it to "ResultSet" since you know
what you are doing :-).
><% ResultSet passedrs = (ResultSet) request.getAttribute("rs); %>
After that you should be able to use passedrds as you would
use ResultSet.
