Simple JSP question (newbie)

Question

Hi all,
firstly I hope this is the right place to post this question, if not, please accept my apologies,
I am putting together my first set of JSP pages with Tomcat, and so far everything is going very well, but I am having one small problem.
I have 1 JSP page at the moment, and that in turn uses 1 JavaBean thing bit of code to do something.
The problem I am having is passing an integer variable from my JSP page to my JavaBean page, I can't seem to find the right syntax for it. The following code (from the JSP page) will make this ten times clearer...
<%! int score; %>
<%! String scoreAsString; %>
<%
scoreAsString = request.getParameter("score");
score = Integer.valueOf(scoreAsString).intValue();
out.println("Your score of " +score +"was received, thanks very much!");
%>
<jsp:useBean id="converter" class="scoreApp.SaveScoreBean"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="converter" property="scoreToSave" value="${score}" /> As you might see, the problem comes in that last line of code - I want to pass the "score" integer I've received off to the bean, but I don't know the syntax for this. I've tried "value=score", "value="score"", "value="$score"", "value="${score}"" etc. but to no avail.
You can see this is a super-simple problem :)
... but my if it isn't becoming frustrating :)
Any help at all will be most welcome, and gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Peter

I am learning jsp now. You´re actually at the JSF forum here.
Now, i am a textfield control on jsp as textField1. You are? Really?
I have created this control from Palette. in java code i am writing "textbox1." but there is no action, no intellisense while pressing ctrl + space.
How the control is accessing from java code? Maybe my logic with visual studio .net. but i want to learn jsp logic.Uh, just write code accordingly? You can use h:commandButton/h:commandLink for that.
Anyway, if you want to start with JSF, I can recommend you the following sources:
