Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi everybody!

I've a problem that puzzled me on how to assign a bean value to a local variable like String in JSP using struts.

we can have someting like this to display the value

<bean:write name="detailService" property="status" />

or

<bean:define id="theStatus" name="detailService" property="status"/>
	This is country: <%=theStatus%>

but an error occured when I tried like this:

String currentStatus = "<bean:define id="theStatus" name="detailService" property="status"/>";
or
String currentStatus = "<bean:write name="detailService" property="status" />";

Is there a way to do this?.....
Any help pretty much appreciated
