JSP Attribute

[Jerson Chua]

On page 41 of the JSP specification, it says that
the following line shows an illegal attribute values.
<mytags:tag value="<%= "hi!" %>" />
I tried the code and the output was
<mytags:tag value="hi!" />
I didn't get any translation or runtime error.
Why did the spec says that the line has an illegal attribute value?

Different vendors implement Jsp spec in different way, not all points inside Jsp spec will be supported by individual product, follow Jsp spec for exam, but follow vendors doc and implementation for your working

Can someone please clarify this?
I still think that the attribute value is valid. I know that there won't be an error in any application server.
Thanks,

Hi,
Sun's Spec is right.
You need to change your code to
<mytags:tag value='<%= "hi!" %>'/>
Otherwise, you WILL get the compile error.

Thanks to both of you. It's now clear to me.
