If I'm understanding you correctly, then what you have to use a
'cooperating tag' which can create a new variable which can then be used
anywhere inside your JSP file. Ultimately it could be used like the
following.
<test:createVariable name="x" value="Hello World"/>
<%=x%> // this would send "Hello World" to your browser for display.
Does anyone know of a good online reference on how to do this? I own
the book "Professional JSP", which I recommend to anyone doing serious
JSP developement.

Subject: How to assign contents of a tag to a Java-variable?
Hi!
I need to assign the "contents" of a tag to a local Java-variable.
Let's say I have an attribute like
<app:attribute name="userName"/>
I want to define a variable which gets the value of this attribute.
<% String user = "???value of the attribute???"; %>
How can I do this?
Thomas
