How to use name-from-attribute in variable directive?
what should be the value of name-from-attribute?

Example:

varAttr.tag
------------
<%@ attribute name="v" required="true" %>
<%@ variable name-from-attribute="v"
variable-class="java.lang.Long"
alias="a" scope="AT_END" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<c:set var="a" value="${123}"/>
<p> TAG: ${v} = ${a} </p>

varAttr.jsp
-------------
<%@ taglib prefix="demo" tagdir="/technology/WEB-INF/tags/demo" %>
<demo:varAttr v="x"/>
<p> JSP: x = ${x} </p>

output:
--------
TAG:x = 123
JSP:x = 123
