dsp:getvalueof equivalent in JSP

What is the equivalent to the following ATG DSP code:

<dsp:getvalueof var="age" param="customerAge" scope="request" />

Is it 

Object age = request.getParameter("customerAge")?

thanks

Solution

  • Unlike request attributes, request parameters are always strings, so that should technically be:

    String age = request.getParameter("customerAge");

    But in JSP its advisable not to use scriptlets, so using EL you would do it like:

    <c:set var="age" value="${param.customerAge}" scope="request" />
