Servlet - JSP

[krishkill]

Hi,
I have a servlet which gets parameter from a jsp page(x). it is stored in a variable in servlet as shown below. the servlet response is another jsp page(y). I should put the value of amp_num in the Jsp page (y).
How should i do it? I'm trying using session.getAttribute

SERVLET:
-------------------
HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);

String amp_number = request.getParameter("amp1").toString();
int amp_num = Integer.parseInt(amp_number);
session.setAttribute("xyz",lamp_num);

JSP Page(y):
---------------
<input type="text" name="xyz" value="<%session.getAttribute(xyz); %>" size="20">

I dont need to put in a textfield, its ok if i print it. Do I need to add any path like (@servlet) because how the jsp know from which servlet i'm calling the variable xyz. please help me.

Thanks,

the <% %> will only evaluate the expression but not output the result value to the JSP rendered (e.g. HTML) output.

what you probably want is

<%=

<input type="text" name="xyz" value="<%=session.getAttribute(xyz)%>" size="20">

Note, no ; inside the <%= %> tag now too.
