Accepted Answer

You can use EL, which is prefered in JSP. ``` ``` Or if the `name` value is HTML safe, you can use ``` ${sessionScope.name} ``` Make sure the JSP is allow access session. ``` <%@ page session="true" %> ``` To use core JSTL, make sure the following code is included. ``` <%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%> ```
