Hi and sorry for asking a question about a very outdated version. I'm using IBM's WAS which only supports 0.91. I have a bean that I'm trying to instantiate with a jsp page. If I leave out the PARAM tag, it loads, but if I add the PARAM tag, I get "Error getting compiled page. 3,27: no name in PARAM tag.". Can someone please point out my error? The JSP is simple: <BEAN name="getfields" type="Ipa.Getfields"> <PARAM pathinfo="/rsand/"> </BEAN> I can't see an error in my bean either: public class Getfields { ... protected String pathinfo; public String getPathinfo() { return pathinfo; } public void setPathinfo(String var){ this.pathinfo = var; ... } } I'm new to java programming in general and JSP/serlvets/beans in particular. What I'm trying to accomplish is simply a way to have my jsp pass the http request path to the bean. I intend to replace the string "/rsand/" with <%=request.getPathInfo()%>. I don't know if that works within a PARAM tag, because I can't seem to get that far! If someone knows a better way I'd be happy to hear it!
