Attribute status has no value/Custom tag problem

[Bryan Murtha <br...@hotmail.com>]

Please help,

    Keep getting Attribute status has no value when I try to pass it in 
directly, have to pass it to a variable and then pass it in but the 
application architect wants no Java code in the JSP, I know this can be done 
I just can't get it to work, only Using Tomcat 3.3 on Windows '98 for a dev 
platform.(wish I could use
something else but it's a contract, have no choise)
   I set my tld. tag defininition to look like this:
    <tag>
      <name>jordana_tech</name>
      <tagclass>examples.Jordana_Tech</tagclass>
          <attribute>
            <name>eta</name>
            <required>false</required>
            <rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
          </attribute>
          <attribute>
            <name>status</name>
            <required>false</required>
            <rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
          </attribute>
          <attribute>
            <name>jobDelayCause</name>
            <required>false</required>
            <rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
    </attribute>
    </tag>

    Yet I can't pass in the parameter directly. What I want to do is this:

<ul>
<ec:jordana_tech  status="<%= request.getParameter("status").toString()%>" 
eta="<%= request.getParameter("eta").toString() %>" jobDelayCause="<%= 
request.getParameter("jobDelayCause").toString() %>"/>
</ul>

This produces this error:
org.apache.jasper.compiler.ParseException: 
C:\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.3\webapps\examples\jsp\simpletag\jordana_tech.jsp(16,58) 
Attribute status has no value

But if I do this it works just fine:

<%
   String status = request.getParameter("status");
   if(status ==null) status="";

   String eta = request.getParameter("eta");
   if(eta ==null) eta="";

      String eta = request.getParameter("jobDelayCause");
   if(jobDelayCause ==null) jobDelayCause="";

%>
<ul>
<ec:jordana_tech  status="<%= status%>" eta="<%=eta%>" 
jobDelayCause="<%=jobDelayCause%>"/>
</ul>

Can mod_jk be made to restart tomcat, if it discovers
that the tomcat process is no longer running?
Thanx!
