Using Scriptlets in Custon Tags

[dennis zined]

Hi folks!

Need help with my custom tag. I am able to pass in the first parameter to my custom tag using jstl-like code (see below). However, I can never get the second parameter to work if I pass it in using jsp scriptlet.

<c:set var"var1" value="some value" />
<test:myTag param1="${var1}" param2="<%=someBean.someProperty%>" />

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Have you enabled run-time expressions for that attribute in the tld?

[dennis zined]

Thank you for your reply.

Yep. In my tld file, both parameters have the runtime expressions turned on.

Is it even possible to pass parameters from a JSP scriplet to a custom tag?

Thanks

Yes, I used to do it all the time. (I no longer use scriplets or sciptlet expressions on my pages in favor of the JSTL and EL ).

By the way "I never get it to work" is not a very good description of the problem you are having. Some detail might help.

One thought: should

  param2="<%=someBean.someProperty%>" 

perhaps be

 param2="<%=someBean.getSomeProperty()%>"  

?
