Re: How to insert a string into a tag parameter

[Austin Lowry]

I'm not sure why your statement generates a compile error, but there is cleaner way to reference your request parameters using the JSTL expression language. Instead of instanciating a String in a scriptlet and then calling your string, you can reference the request parameter inside your tag like this:

<c:import var="shareweb" url="${requestScope.xmlfile}" />

See the following URL for more on EL: http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.0/tutorial/doc/JSTL4.html

I have a JSP that receives three strings from an upstream form. I would like to insert one of the passed strings as a value within a <c:import> tag. See the last line of code snippet below.


<%--

Get Project, Owner and XML file path from the form

--%>
<jsp:useBean id="parameters" class="com.plv2.FormBean" scope="page" />
<%
String project = request.getParameter("project");
String owner = request.getParameter("owner");
String xmlfile = request.getParameter("xmlfile");
%>
<%--
open the ShareWeb export file
--%>
<c:import var="shareweb" url="<%=xmlfile%>" />


It seems my syntax is incorrect as url="<%=xmlfile%>" results in a compilation error.

Does anybody know the correct way to do this?

TIA
