Mock Exam Question - what is the correct answer ?

[Mana Lesar]

Here is the question:

The attribute "name" has a value of "Foo".
What is the result if this tag handler's tag is invoked ?

public class MyTagHandler extends TagSupport {

  public int doStartTag() throws JspException {
    try {
      Writer out = pageContext.getResponse().getWriter();
      String name = pageContext.findAttribute("name");
      out.print(name);
    } catch(Exception ex){}
    return SKIP_BODY;
  }

  public int doAfterBody() throws JspException {
    try {
      Writer out = pageContext.getResponse().getWriter();
      out.print("done");
    } catch (Exception ex){}
    return EVAL_PAGE;
  }
...
}

And the Answer says: "Foo".

As for me the code will not compile due to error in line:

String name = pageContext.findAttribute("name");

because attribute needs to be casted to String here... But i have found this question in other source and it also said that answer is "Foo".
What you think ranchers ?
