Solution

  • You need to create a getter/setter corresponding to name; then your code would be like:

    public class Hello extends TagSupport {
    private String name=null;
    /**
      * Getter/Setter for the attribute name as defined in the tld file 
      * for this tag
      */
public void setName(String value){
    name = value;
}

    public String getName(){
          return(name);
       }
/**
* doStartTag is called by the JSP container when the tag is encountered
*/
    public int doStartTag() {
    System.out.println(name);
    }
