scope problems

[Hartmut John <jo...@pinuts.de>]

Hi,

I'd like to use the following Statements to print a grouped list
of categories. But doesn't work:

--- some.jsp ---

<ext:catlist>

  <B> <%= catname %> </B>

  <ext:catlist>
    <%= catname %> 
  </ext:catlist>

</ext:catlist>
-----------------

The problem is the initalisation of the nested block. because I
use the same porperty catname(decalred NESTED), the compilation
fails creating a local variable catname:

--- produced code ---
  String catname = (String) pageContext.getAttribute("catname");
  out.print(catname);
  do{
    String catname = (String) pageContext.getAttribute("catname");
    out.print(catname);
  }
---------------------

Why it is necessary to create these temp variable catname? A more
flexible way would be to create code like:
out.print(String) pageContext.getAttribute("catname"));

Does anybody have a solution cascading same Tags to do the things
I decribed above?
