null request attribute - easy one?
Terribly numpty problem!
I have subclassed the RequestProcessor and set a request attribute there, in
the Action I've checked to see if it is still there, it is.
When I forward to a jsp page it is null.
Where may I be going wrong please?
Also is there a struts way to do:
<%= (String)request.getAttribute("time") %>
Thankyou

No Andrew, that didn't work, redirect attribute is false by default, I set
it to that anyway, no difference. I did try the session approach Mark
suggested, and that works as you'd expect.
This is wierd, what is Struts doing differently?
At the moment I just have a simple forward to get a jsp form and then the
action it is sent to forwards it back to the form.

A struts forward can be redirecting or non-redirecting. Check if you are
using a redirecting one (look at whats in your struts config for that
forward) - redirecting ones cause a client side redirection so you start a
new request.

But without struts when you do a forward with a request dispatcher, request
attributes are available to the jsp, what is struts doing differently and
why?

Because after it goes through the action, it's reference is removed. Set it
to session scope and dereference as is appropriate.
