setAttribute doesnot work during Forward action

[m nevetha]

Hi All,

I am working on an application where in action1 I set an attribute, and the forward takes us to a jsp and i try to access the attribute using getAttrbute set in action1.

But I get a traceback.

Code snippet in action1

     request.setAttribute("access", privilege);
return mapping.findForward(ADMIN);
 

In struts-config.xml

 
   <action name="LoginForm" path="/login" scope="request" type="com.LoginAction" validate="true">
<forward name="administartor" path="/finance.jsp" />
</action
   

In finance.jsp

 
<% 
            String access = request.getAttribute("access").toString();           
        %>   

But am getting a traceback.. Can anyone help me out
