Newbe Problem with parameter passing to href in jsp document.

[Vladimir.Sakharuk]

I am trying to pass 3 variables in jsp on tomcat 5.5. here is one of my
permutations.


<jsp:root version="1.2" xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page">
<jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

kill</a></li> <!-- this is line 28-->

</jsp:root>

I am getting exception
org.apache.jasper.JasperException:
/web/BlockingProcessDetail.jsp(28,18) The value of attribute "href"
associated with an element type "a" must not contain the '<' character.

Please advise thanks.

Try:

<a
href="BlockingProcesses.jsp?id=<%=request.getParameter("id")%>&host=<%=request.getParameter("host")%>&action=kill">Kill</a>

<li><a
href="BlockingProcesses.jsp?id=<%=request.getParameter("id")%>&host=<%=request.getParameter("host")%>&action=kill">Kill</a></li>

<li><a
href="BlockingProcesses.jsp?id=<jsp:expression>=request.getParameter("id")</jsp:expression>&host=<jsp:expression>request.getParameter("host")</jsp:expression>&action=kill">Kill</a></li>

Can you paste the whole page here? Looks like your problem might be
elsewhere.
