Hi,
Just to check, did you make sure that the action of your form points back to
this same JSP ?
The reason for this is that the form will be using the http GET (or POST) methods
and this method only attaches the parameters to the end of a new request.
Hint... if you want the form in your input file to be generic , ie not have to
specify the name of the page it's action points to then leave out the ACTION and
your browser will assume that the action is pointing back to its self.
eg
<!-- contents of input file inForm.html nb No ACTION statement-->
<FORM METHOD=GET >
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="account" SIZE="4"><p>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>
<!-- end of inForm.html -->
now the jsp
<!-- contents of testBean.jsp -->
<%@ page import="SearchBean" %>
<jsp:useBean id="searchcriteria" scope="session" class="SearchBean" >
<jsp:setProperty name="searchcriteria" property="account"
</jsp:useBean>
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Test Bean</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<jsp:include page="inForm.html" flush="true" /> <P>
<HR>
The value of account is = <jsp:getProperty name="searchcriteria"
property="account" />
</BODY>
</HTML>
<!-- End of testBean.jsp -->
Hope this helps
