how do you write set a propert of a bean using a scriptlet?

hi! thanks for reading,

I am trying to set a property of a bean of mine from a request parameter and the compiler is telling me that it is incorrect

my script is

<jsp:useBean id="stringbean"
scope="session"
class="com.vbc.beans.myBean" />

<jsp:setProperty name="stringbean"
property="lastName"
value="<%=request.getParameter("lastName")%>" />

i don't know what else to do.
any help would be appreciated! :D

the parameter lastname, I already tested it. if would do

<%=request.getParameter("lastName")%>

outside of the jsp tag it will display the proper value of the parameter. i just don't know how to embed the value to a bean with the method I pasted above.

geeeez ...

just needed to have the double quotes changed to single quotes. instead of value="..." used value='...'
