Problem With showForm And

[Cowboy Bob]

I've got a JSP page that shows a set of navigation tabs at the top and the current page passes a parameter in to indicate which option to highlight (the current page). This works fine when I hit my view controller, but if the form doesn't validate and showForm is called then the parameter doesn't seem to be passed in.

The relevant part of the calling JSP:-

<c:import url="/WEB-INF/jsp/include/tabs.jsp">
    <c:param name="current" value="addProduct"/>
</c:import>

And the relevant part of the tabs.jsp file:-

<div class="tabcontainer">
    <ul class="tablist">
        <li>
            <c:choose>
                <c:when test='${param.current == "home"}'>
                    <strong><fmt:message key="tabs.home"/></strong>
                </c:when>
                <c:otherwise>
                    <html:link href="secure/welcome.html"><fmt:message key="tabs.home"/></html:link>
                </c:otherwise>
            </c:choose>
        </li>
..... etc

<c:otherwise> is always called. Any ideas?
