Hi, If the <bean:parameter> is used and the request parameter (the name specified) isn't found i don't want an exeception but i want the bean parameter to use a empty string (""). So that after that all <bean:write> prints that empty string if the paramter wasn't there. I want this behaviour because if a specifiek paramater is specified i want the title to include this parameter. But this is not a requiredment! If it isn't specified then noting must be added to the title (the jsp does after that a <logic:present> and shows something if it is there. Can't a simple property be added to <bean:parameter>? like defaultvalue="" Then i can specify that that value must be used when the parameter isn't there. Johan
