Question about c:set var

[Janna Voss]

Does <c:set var ...> place a *String* in specified scope, or does it place an *Object* in the scope? In other words, is it a parameter, or an attribute?

If this places an object in the specified scope, how does the JSP know the object type? Can it be a JavaBean object that I've previously created?

thanks!

It places an attribute not parameter. The type is the type what you use while setting the value.
