JSP Save Parameter as a String

Question

I am trying to save a parameter to a string variable in JSP but cannot figure out how to do it.

The request is working as it should and the data is being retrieved.

<%= request.getParameter("page") %>

But how can I save it as a string?

<% String temp = '<%= request.getParameter("page") %>'; %>

The above code doesn't work. :(

Any particular reason you're using scriptlets instead of JSP? http://stackoverflow.com/q/3177733/139010 — Matt Ball, Mar 29 '13 at 00:32
These scriptlets are a part of the examples we were shown in class. — user1334130, Mar 29 '13 at 00:39
Yeah, I've been reading that scriptlets are bad or out of date or something... — user1334130, Mar 29 '13 at 00:43

<% String temp = request.getParameter("page"); %> is enough to store the value...
