JSP tags questions

[Natalya Muzinich]

I am VERY new to JSP, so I hope my question makes sense.

I am trying to use a tag from the google API estimatedTotal.
<google:estimatedTotal />
If I just put it in my jsp like this, it prints the number of
estimated search results directly on the page. I don't want this. What
I want is to collect this value and stick it into a java variable for
future processing.

Can this be done? If so, what's the syntax?

Thank you so much in advance

You wouldn't use a tag for that; tags are for controlling output. I am
not familiar with this tag library, but many such tag libraries are
accompanied by Java APIs that might do what you want.
