jsp:forward problem with Tomcat

[Ajit Kanada]

I am using Tomca 4
i forward a page like this

<jsp:forward page="ForumHome.jsp" >
    <jsp :-P	 aram name="user" value="<%=username%>" />
</jsp:forward>

and in "ForumHome.jsp"
i do

 
Welcome  <%request.getParameter("user");%> 
 

but gives nothing..
What can be the problem?

Hello Ajit,
There is not a need to declare a saperate String variable "name" here.
The mistake you had done in the "ForumHome.jsp" is, while showing value of any java expression on the jsp page output you have to use <%= %> and you have used <% %>.
So if you made the following change in the "ForumHome.jsp" then also it will work
Welcome <%= request.getParameter("user");%>
Note: Consider I am using "<%=" here.
