Fetch variable in cfm

I have a String variable in JSP that I would like to forward to a ColdFusion 8 web page.

I tried forwarding the variable to ColdFusion and it doesnt show anything in the page.

Please advise how I can fetch a JSP variable in ColdFusion?

Take a look at the ColdFusion documentation.

"Interoperating with JSP pages and servlets"

Thanks, I am using ColdFusion 8 and I tried both attempts below where the hello.jsp is a simple hello world message:

<cfscript>
GetPageContext().include("http://myserver:8080/myapp/hello.jsp");
</cfscript>

and

</cfoutput>

Both came back with error on the GetPageContext() method with no further explanation of the ColdFusion error.

Please advise.

Use a relative URL instead. Here is an example I gave in a previous thread on JSP:

TimeNow.jsp
==========
<%
java.util.Date thisDate = new java.util.Date();
%>
Hello World, the time is now <%= thisDate %>

getTheTime.cfm
============
<cfset theTime = getPageContext().include("TimeNow.jsp")>
