This has got to be simple, I am just not doing it properly.

I have a JSR-268 portlet created.

Down in my source packages i have my portletname.java file

in that file i have String name = "bob";

I want to display that variable on my view.jsp page

please tell me how to properly pass it and display it.

Thanks much in advance.

to answer my own question anyone's for that matter

it is simply passed by setting a RenderRequest attribute

request.setAttribute("variable", variablename);



then in the jsp

request.getAttribute("variablename");
