attribute from jsp to servlet

[Fernando Dominguez]

Hello.

I want to pass an attribute from a jsp to servlet

I have tried


request.setAttribute("att", vector); in the jsp

the in the servlet

vector (Verctor)request.getAttribute("att");

but it doesn�t work

Does it only works from servlet to jsp and not in the other way?

Thanks

It works both way i.e. servlet -> jsp and jsp -> servlet.
You can access the attributes in both the places.
Can you publish your jsp and servlet code?

Are you doing it within the same request? If your request goes out of scope, you attribute won't be available.

No, you can't.

Once the response is sent to the client, the request that generated the first JSP goes out of scope. Any attributes set on that request go away with it.
