Question

Here is my code:

If I do as following, I\'m not getting the value:

Answer 1

You can write your code 2 ways

1. <% request.setAttribute("lcItem", "Hello"); %>
2. <% pageContext.setAttribute("lcItem", "Hello"); %>

then if you want to access these values in Struts2 Components you might use #attr. as prefix.

Example

Note: It will work fine with request and "pageContext".

 will not work because "lcItem" is not available in the Value Stack.
