Passing values between JSTL and scriptlet

[Chase Bonham]

I know I can do pass a scriptlet value to a JSTL tag

<c:set var="".. value ="<%= %>" />

But can I reference an EL/JSTL value inside a scriptlet tag?

First point: you really shouldn't be mixing and matching technologies if you can avoid it. Use scriptlets or use JSTL/EL. Using both is rather messy.

Given that: scoped variables -- those created and referenced via JSTL and EL -- are just what we previously thought of as "attributes" created and obtained via setAttribute() and getAttribute().
