In this section, we are going to describe the Set tag. The set tag is a generic tag that is used to assign a value to a variable in a specified scope. It is useful when you wish to assign a variable to a complex expression and then simply reference that variable each time rather than the complex expression.
Add the following code snippet into the struts.xml file.
struts.xml
Now create a jsp page using tag as shown in the setTag.jsp page. The set tag is used to assign a value to a variable in a specified scope. The parameters name and value in the tag acts as the name-value pair. Here we set the parameters as
name="technologyName" value="Java".

Add the following code snippet into the struts.xml file.
