retrieve request attribute in jsp using el.

[uthpalaw]

Hi ,

I'm trying to retrieve the value from a request attribute in a jsp page. Servlet is setting the request attribute as following

request.setAttribute("name", value);
RequestDispatcher reqDesp = request.getRequestDispatcher(a.jsp);
    reqDesp.forward(request, response);

then i'm trying to access this attribute from a jsp (b.jsp) page which has been included as part of another jsp.

In a.jsp file

<jsp:include flush="true" page="b.jsp"/>

when i'm trying to access the request attribute from b.jsp using el it won't run properly. But if i use scriplets it's running perfectly.

This works well

<%=request.getAttribute("name") %>

but this won't work,

${requestScope.name}

Can someone explain me why el is not working properly ?
