<%= expression %> with custom tags

[Marcus Crafter <cr...@dresdnerbank.de>]

Hi All,

	Hope all is well.

	Quick question regarding custom tags libraries with Tomcat 3.2 beta 1.

	If I define a custom tag such as:

		<mytag:print key="some string"/>

	should it then be possible to parameterize the 'key' parameter as
	follows:

		<mytag:print key="<%= new String(\"some string\") %>"/>

	in the same way that one can have a <%= .. %> expression with jsp:xxx
	tags ? (eg. <jsp:include page="<%= new String(\"main.inc\") %>"/>)

	I've implemented a test example, but unfortunately the expression isn't
	evaluated (ie. the <%= .. %> is passed through to the 'key'
	parameter) - is this the correct behaviour ?

	Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

	Cheers,

	Marcus
