You need to nest the <jsp :params> inside the plugin tag. Judging from the code you posted, you're not.
See examples here:
http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/tags/11/syntaxref1113.html#8837 To the other respondent, the reason for using the plugin tag instead of straight HTML is that the JSP container is supposed to write browser-specific HTML for you, saving you the effort of doing browser detection and generating different HTML for IE and Netscape.
