<jsp:params>  

You can use the <jsp:params> action only in the body of a <jsp:plugin> action, to enclose a set of <jsp:param> actions that specify applet parameters. This action supports no attributes.

Example:

<jsp:plugin type="applet" code="Clock2.class" 
  codebase="applet" 
  jreversion="1.2" width="160" height="150" >
  <jsp:params>
    <jsp:param name="bgcolor" value="ccddff" />
  </jsp:params>
</jsp:plugin>
