This should work....
request.setAttribute("name","this is a test"); // in your Action
<!-- in your template-using JSP page -->
<template:put name="content"><bean:write name="name"/> </template:put>
<!-- in your template definition JSP page -->
<template:get name="content"/>

But the template stuff gets put into request scope, so you don't need page
context specifically.
