title: Using jsp:param / c:param in a Portlet Environment
body: <p>I'm trying to include JSP pages with <code>jsp:param</code> in a Portlet environment (using the <a href="http://portals.apache.org/pluto/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Pluto</a> portlet container).</p>
  
  <p>for example,</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;jsp:include page="test.jsp"&gt;
     &lt;jsp:param name="foo" value="bar"/&gt;
  &lt;/jsp:include&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and in test.jsp,</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;c:out value="${foo}"/&gt; or &lt;%= request.getParameter("foo") %&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The output is always null and i've also tried using <code>c</code> tags, but got the same result.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;c:import url="test.jsp"&gt;
     &lt;c:param name="foo" value="bar"/&gt;
  &lt;/c:import&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've searched through the net and many people have faced the same problem, except that there is no solution to it.</p>
  
  <p>Is this a limitation or is there a different way to do it?</p>
