title: How to get parameters from the URL with JSP
body: <p>In JSP how do I get parameters from the URL?</p>
  
  <p>For example I have a URL <code>www.somesite.com/Transaction_List.jsp?accountID=5</code>
  <br />I want to get the 5.
  <br /><br /> Is there a request.getAttribute( "accountID" ) like there is for sessions or something similar?</p>
