Attributes and parameters are distinct. Parameters are appended to the end of a request. They can only be strings. Attributes are stored in a ServletContext. Attributes can be any kind of object.
If you use setParameter to store, you must use getParameter to retrieve. If you use setAttribute to store, you must use getAttribute to retrieve. To see your attribute, enumerate the attributes. -- Becky Norum Database Administrator Center for Subsurface Sensing and Imaging Systems (CenSSIS) Northeastern University http://www.censsis.neu.edu On Thu, 2003-02-27 at 09:25, Jason Vinson wrote: > I was under the impression that setting an attribute in a request would make it a > parameter in a new page.
