Question

How do I pass Javascript variable to and JSTL?

Answer 1

You need to send it as a request parameter. One of the ways is populating a hidden input field.

This way you can get it in the server side as request parameter when the form is been submitted.

An alternative way is using Ajax, but that's a completely new story/answer at its own.
