Thank you for the responses. That is exactly what I was asking Simon. And t:aliasBean seems to have done the trick. I have not tried Sushma's solution yet but t:aliasBean is working nicely. Thanks for the help!

When using JSP, the tomahawk t:aliasBean tag is the best way to do this: page1: <t:aliasBean value="#{realBean1}" alias="#{dst}"> <jsp:include ..../> </t:aliasBean> page2: <t:aliasBean value="#{realBean2}" alias="#{dst}"> <jsp:include ..../> </t:aliasBean> The included page can then reference #{dst}. The effect is pretty much like a method parameter.
