Get FormBean's property in JSP page.

[SoonAnn Lim]

Hi,
I am using Struts 1.1 in this topic. I have a very simple page with only 1 input field for age. I assign it to DynaActionForm with request scope. Then I create a simple Action class that does nothing but forwarding to the landing page, which is a jsp page. At landing page, I want to display different messages based on the age field in Formbean. At landing page, I am trying to get the value of age field from the FormBean and assign it to a java variable so I can perform logic in jsp page, meaning using <% %> scriplet. Here is the pseudocode of landing page
########################################
<% Get Age field and assign to java variable.
If (Age < 10) {
%>
Hello Kid
<% }else if (Age between 10 - 20){
%>
Hello Dude
<% }else{
%>
Hello Folks
<% } %>
##########################################
Can someone give me some clue?
Thanks

make the action scope session

and yeah you should use the struts bean tag to get the property value of the bean members.
<bean:write property="age"/>
will print the age value on the page for you.
OR
You could get the form from the scope that u set it in session/request using the name attribute that u specify in the struts config and then call the getters and setters. The solution above is cleaner.

I am not very clear about this.
<bean:write property="age" /> will output to the page. How can I assign this value in jsp scriptlet?
<% int age = <bean:write property="age"/> ; %>
Something like that?

Thanks
