Nested tags with scripting variables generates invalid code

           Summary: Nested tags with scripting variables generates invalid
                    code
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.19
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: clemens.wagner@denkwerk.com


Using nested custom tags that create scripting variables leads Jasper to create invalid code. Example:

<my:bean name="outer">
        <%-- outer is null iff pageContext.findAttribute("outer") is null --%>
        <my:bean name="inner"/>
        <%-- inner is always null even if pageContext.findAttribute("inner") is not  --%>
 </my:bean>
<%-- outer is null iff pageContext.findAttribute("outer") is null --%>

where the bean-tag sets a value in the pageContext with the given name and any value.
This bug is known since tomcat version 4.1 (see bug 19361).
