Ikai Even this basic page scope isn't working for me.
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws IOException, ServletException { req.setAttribute("helloWorld", "Testing"); RequestDispatcher dispatcher = req.getRequestDispatcher("/helloworld.jsp"); dispatcher.forward(req, resp); } <%@ page isELIgnored="false" %> <body> Hello world <% String str = (String) session.getAttribute("helloWorld"); %> <h1>${helloWorld}</h1> </body> The value for ${helloWorld} is null. I am testing this through eclipse.
