Thanks Cedric for your help.
Does template:put can actually put an object other than String?
That is:
<% AClass aObject = new AClass(); %>
...
<template:put name="myObject" content='<%=aObject%>' >
...
And, then, how are we going to get the boject back?
I guess that's where your proposal to extend the template tag comes in.
In any rate, I have a work around for now, which is to use the
request.setAttribute(...) and request.getAttribute(...)
to pass and retrieve objects between those files involved in the template.
It is not convenient, but, I guess that's what I have to do at the moment.
Again, many thanks for your help.
