Is there any way, using taglibs to get dynamic attributes passed into
the tag code, from my understanding it seems that the attributes get
passed as literals.

For example:

<mylib:mytag attribute1="(new Date()).toString()" />

In my setter method for attribute1 in my tag code the string "(new
Date()).toString()" is passed in, rather than the evaluation of the
expression (new Date()).toString().

Can anyone shed any light on whether this is possible with jsp?

(In theory there seems no reason why this is impossible, since the jsp
compiler could insert a few lines in the generated class for the jsp
page, like:

String tmp = (new Date()).toString();
...
mytagobj.setAttribute1(tmp);

)
