String var assigned to view-state?

[raq]

Hello, am not sure if this is possible in webflow 2.2.1

flow.xml (in red - does not work)

<view-state id="flowId1" model="flowModel1" view="/WEB-INF/templates/Flow_Form/form1.jsp">
        <set attribute="strVar" value="${'someStringVar'}" />	   	
	<transition on="step1" to="step1Action" />
    </view-state>

jsp

<h1>${strVar}</h1>

Essentially, I'd like to assign a String var that will change value accross individual view-states, that is set in the flow.xml..

Are there any other simple recommended approaches to this?

Thanks

got it..

<view-state id="flowId1" model="flowModel1" view="/WEB-INF/templates/Flow_Form/form1.jsp">
	<on-entry>
	        <evaluate expression="'someStringVar'" result="flowScope.strVar"/>
        </on-entry>   	
	<transition on="step1" to="step1Action" />
</view-state>
