Set attribute in JSP PageContext for use in EL from filter

Question

How can I put an attribute in the JSP PageContext for the current request (so that it becomes available through ${myVar}) from the filter that runs before the JSP?

Answer 1

I think I can miss something, but:

• you have an object ServletRequestin the filter
• call request.setAttribute("myVar", value);
• call chain.doFilter(request, response);
