Hi All,
I'm trying the following:
<c:import url="header.jsp">
<c:param name="test" value="hello" />
</c:import>
and trying to output the param value in header.jsp but it displays nothing.
Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Greeshma.
stick the following line at the top of your jsp
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
probably. it might vary a bit, depending on a few things, but read Teh Docs ™ or google "jstl tutorial" for more. or search these forums, this sort of problem arises all the time
If you are unable to solve this after doing your own research...
1) Check: Is header.jsp visible to the JSP you have the c:import tag on?
2) Post the full relevant code of your current JSP which includes header.jsp and also the code for header.jsp itself.
Next time , please include as much relevant code as possible, it will reduce the time it takes for you to get a response and it will also keep the thread short.
Thanks for your replies. I have the taglib at the top of my JSP.
I'am attaching the 2 jsp's that I'm using.
JSP that includes header.jsp:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
<html>
<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0">
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
<c:import url="header.jsp">
<c:param name="test" value="test" />
</c:import>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
and header.jsp
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
<html>
<body>
<c:out value="${test}"/>
<c:set var="hi" value="hi" />
<c:out value="${hi}" />
</body>
</html>
Only hi is displayed in the JSP.
Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

According to JSTL 1.1 Specification c:param sends an HttpRequest parameter to c:import , c:url and c:redirect.
So , in your header.jsp your code should be
<c:out value="${param.test}"/>
and not
<c:out value="${test}"/>
It is very useful to check with the JSTL spec document, when something doesn't work or simply when you want to learn more about JSTL - its a PDF document , to get the document go here:
http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr052/index2.html and then click on Download, and then look for this jstl-1_1-mr2-spec.pdf PDF document .
