how to access the flatID value in JSP

    <s:url id="url" action="showFlatDetailsWindow">
  <s:param name="flatID"><%=rst.getString(6)%></s:param>
</s:url>
<s:a href="%{url}"><font color="blue" class = LblFnt><%=rst.getString(1)%></FONT></s:a>

Why can't the following code be used to do what you want, why are you using scripting??

*******************ans=<s:property value="#request['flatID']" />

Just plain template text and struts tag. I'm unable to understand the second question...
