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.
