Oh, of course. I missed that fact that this was in a custom tag. So I take it bake... the problem
is with your code.
You cannot use a scriptlet expression as part of the attribute to a custom action. It must be all of the attribute, or none.
EL expressions have no such restrictions, which is just one of the many reasons that
you should no longer be using scriptlets if you are using a
JSP 2.0 container.
