Passing value from a JSP to an iframe

How can we pass a session variable from one JSP which is in a portletSession, to another JSP which we are calling from an IFRAME present in the same JSP.

E.g. "sequenceReports.jsp" has an IFRAME which is defined as �

<IFRAME name="avlReportssource" id="avlReportssource" height= "400" width= "300" marginheight="3" frameborder="0" src='<%= renderResponse.encodeURL(renderRequest.getContextPath() + "/jsp/ebip/ebipadmin/reportadmin/reports/availReports.jsp") %>'>
</IFRAME>

Here we are using �availReports.jsp� to populate the IFRAME.

We have a variable in the session, which we want to use in availReports.jsp. In which way can this be done?

We have tried getting the session variable through request object in availReports.jsp, but didn�t get any results. The session is prevalent in sequenceReports.jsp but not present in availReports.jsp.

I've never tried it, but I'm wondering if you could append the parameters to the uri, like availReports.jsp?name=bob&age=21.
You get the required parameters from the session and pass them as request parameters.

How do you know this?

i have already tried to pass the parameters by using availReports.jsp?name=bob&age=21 thing.
But this did not yield any value in availReports.jsp.
It returned a null value.

We are using Struts Portlets framework, where we had stored the value of a variable in the Portlet session. when we tried retrieving the variable value through the session, it gave us nothing. This proves that the session is not present in availReports.jsp

Since this is a portlets question, I've moved it accordingly. Please be sure to ask questions in the appropriate forum.
