Using jsp:param and expression scripting element

[Adrian Kan]

Hi,

I am trying to troubleshoot a problem with my JSP

This works fine:

Param abc -> <%= request.getParameter("abc")%>

While this isn't and returns an error

<jsp:include page="./header.jsp">
	<jsp:param name="abc" value="<%= request.getParameter("abc")%>" />
</jsp:include>

Error Returned:
Attribute value request.getParameter("abc") is quoted with " which must be escaped when used within the value

Making <%= request.getParameter(\"abc\")%> works. as normal.


Any advice?

Running Tomcat 6.0.18

Yes. Pull yourself kicking and screaming out of 2002 and stop using scriptlets in your JSP pages.
