Hello,
I have tried using Tomcat v3.0 and v3.1M1. Both fail to take an expression
as a param value. Below I describe what I am trying to do. It is my hope
that someone can direct me to a proper solution.
I have been trying to using a servlet to forward info to a JSP which
launches a plugin. The plugin parameters need to be data obtained from the
servlet. The servlet sets a attribute. Once the attribute is obtained it the
forwarding JSP code resembles:
<% String numberOfColumns =
request.getAttribute("NumberOfColumns").toString(); %>
<jsp:plugin type="applet" code="Columns" jreversion="1.2" width="500"
height="250" >
<jsp:params>
<jsp:param name = "NumberOfColumns" value = "<% columns; %>" />
</jsp:params>
<jsp:fallback>
Plugin tag OBJECT or EMBED not supported by browser.
</jsp:fallback>
</jsp:plugin>
This does not work. Any expression I use for the value is taken as a literal
string, even though the standard on Sun's site for a param value states an
expression can be used.
Some please help identify where I have gone wrong.
Stephen
