Access a variable from a jsp file

Question

I have created two jsp pages. I passed a list from jsp page and displayed the contents of the list in the second page using this: ${user.rate},${user.location}etc..

Now, I want to store one of these elements in a local variable for performing some arithmetic operations. I don't know how to save the variables locally and use it.

Kindly help me.

Answer 1

I found the answer. I used c tags to store my values.

<c: set var=name_of_variable value=${user.location} /> And I can access the variable using the 'name_of_variable'.
