Hi,
Can anyone help me out.
When i run my application on Oracle8i/9i(under Linux) the ERROR message appear for
any jsp files that contain the following lines:
<% String path = "mypath"; %>
<% request.setAttribute("PATH", path); %>

----------------error message-----------------

Exception:
oracle.jsp.provider.JspCompileException:

It seems that your server does not follow servlet 2.2 spec

Hi Alex,
Your problem was that your trying to do the wrong thing.
It is session.setAttribute(String name,Object o);
and not request.setAttribute();
In fact request object does that have any setAttribute() method associated with it.

Hi NELL,
you'd better check it one time more.
setAttribute(string name, Object o) IS method of request.

get/setAttribute() is available to both the request and the session. The servletContext inerface also has it's own get/setAttribute. Which one you use depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
