Hello All! I'm trying to give an inital value to one of the fields in a form in an application of mine.
I had tried this: <html:textarea property="comments" rows="4" cols="50" value="<%=requestDTO.getComments()%>" Since I had read that you couldn't use bean:write tag in the value attribute of the html tags. However this gives me an error in tomcat: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile /int0/opt/tomcat/b331/work/DEFAULT/tir/pla/ReviewRequest_3.java:899: Undefined variable or class name: requestDTO _jspx_th_html_textarea_0.setValue(requestDTO.getComments()); The bean in question (requestDTO) is session scoped. I can use <bean:write> to write out the value, so I know it's there. What do I need to do so that <%=requestDTO.getComments()%> works also? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
