How to pass a server side value to an attribute of a custom jsp tag
Hi All:
I needed to passed an integer value from the following code:
<%=ic.getTotalNumOfRecords()%>
to an attribute of a custom tag
<inquiry:tableClaimHistory numberOfRecords="5" dataAction="claimHistoryViewData.do" emptyKey="error.noData"/>
The function getTotalNumOfRecords returns an int.
The attribute numberOfRecords expects an string.
Here are the different ways I tried in a jsp page but I get also the following errors:
1.)
[QUOTE]
<%@ include file="../common/page_imports.jsp" %>
<inquiry:tableClaimHistory numberOfRecords=<%=ic.getTotalNumOfRecords()%> dataAction="claimHistoryViewData.do" emptyKey="error.noData"/>
[/QUOTE]
Error Message:

<inquiry:tableClaimHistory numberOfRecords=<%=ic.getTotalNumOfRecords()%> dataAction="claimHistoryViewData.do" emptyKey="error.noData"/>

In the custom tag java code called "DisplayTableClaimHistoryTag"
I tried to used the following code:
[quote]
InquiryContext ic = InquiryContext.getContext(session);
[quote]
The problem is that in order to get session I needed HttpSession object. I don't know how to passed HttpSession "session" object
to a custom tag. Is there a way to do this?
