Hi,

I have the following jsp page:

<jsp:include page="title.jsp" flush="true">
   <param name="title" value="About Our Company"/>
</jsp:include>

And in the title.jsp page, I have the following:

<html>
Title: <%= request.getParameter("title") %>
</html>

But I got the following result on the browser:

Title: null

What am I doing wrong?  Please help!

I am using Resin 1.1.2 as my JSP engine on IIS4.

Thanks in advance!

Dear Josh,

Never used Resin, but using the JWS I would do this:

<%@ include file="title.jsp" %>

Now assuming that your outer page contains <html></html> tags then you do not want them in your 'title.jsp' file

Also avoid mutiple <body> tags when using server side includes.

Hope this helps

I found the problem. It should be:

<jsp:param name="title" value="About Our Company"/>

ie I was missing the "jsp:" before the "param"
