getAttribute returns 'Object'. You need to cast it to 'String' Ron
-----Original Message----- From: Erik Price [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 4:16 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: strange response.getAttribute problem In my index.jsp file, I have the following snippet of code: <input type="hidden" name="dest" value="<%= response.getAttribute("dest") %>" /> I'm trying to capture the value of the "dest" URL parameter. I tried setting it as an attribute in the response object that redirects to index.jsp, and that didn't work. But I thought for sure that if I hardcoded it into the URL, it would work. Strangely, if I call index.jsp with the following URL: domain.com:8080/webapp/index.jsp?dest=/test/path Then the JSP renders as such: <input type="hidden" name="dest" value="null" /> any idea why the GET attribute's not getting pulled into the JSP?
