way of setting and retrieving a Page object via request attribute

Another update. I marked Bruce's answer as correct. 

new code: 

Page page = (Page)request.getAttribute("page");

Thanks Bruce! 

I do have an update, I changed the code around a bit and it works, but I do feel like there way a way to do it in one line like I wanted originally. For edification purposes I am now doing:

Setting like this:

Page page = <Page>; request.setAttribute("page", page.getPath());

Getting like so:

String page = request.getAttribute("page").toString(); Page myPage = pageManager.getPage(page);

That works. If anyone has better ways of doing this, I'd love to learn.

Thanks

It does not, it's actually the other way around the setting jsp calls the getting jsp. The other way doesn't really make sense in most use cases. It looks like the object is being passed though, if I get it via generic object:

Object myPage = request.getAttribute("page");

It does retrieve an object, I just can't convert it to an object of type Page.

Does the script in which you are calling getAttribute include the script that is setting it (via <cq:include script=""/>)?

Thanks Bruce, I actually am. The above sample is just for clarity.

Thanks Scott, That was my thought as well. When I do this: 

Page myPage = request.getAttribute("page").adaptTo(Page.class);

I get an error saying:

"The method adaptTo(Class<Page>) is undefined for the type Object"

Scott, I think I'm missing something fundamental here. What I'm trying to do is pass an object from one jsp to another.

I am doing this via setting and getting a request object. This is not information stored in the crx but rather dynamic content generated at runtime.

I guess what i'm not getting from your response is, are you saying that is the wrong approach to this problem, or am I not understanding how to get the object from the request and convert to a resource first?

I really appreciate the help.

You can get page props and display them in an AEM component. 

You can use Sling APIs and the adaptTo method for this use case. 

Page page = res.adaptTo(Page.class);

See this community article to learn how to use the Sling API:

Try using a name other than page for the request attribute:

request.setAttribute("myPage", myPage);

Edit: other request attribute names to avoid: http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/developing/scripts.html#<cq:defineObjects>
