is it true that when using "c:set target" there is no scope attribute?
if i have
<%
request.setAttribute("mymap", new java.util.HashMap());
page.setAttribute("mymap", new java.util.HashMap());
%>
<c:set target="${mymap}" property="surname" value="145"/>
this always sets the mymap in page Scope
if i try
<c:set target="${mymap}" property="surname" value="145" scope="request"/>
i allways getting an error:
Illegal scope attribute without var in "c:set" tag.
how can i differentiate the scopes when using "c:set target" ?

Yes,
always target should evaluate to OBJECT. It is not id of a attribute or bean. It should always evaluate to either java bean or hashmap. SO target should always have some script expression or EL.
