The following works for me in Tomcat 3.1_m1
<mylib:mytag attribute1="<%= new Date().toString() %>"/>
In your taglib.tld be sure to set the rtexprvalue of your tag:
<tag>
<name>mytag</name>
<tagclass>path.to.myClass</tagclass>
<bodycontent>empty</bodycontent>
<attribute>
<name>attribute1</name>
<required>true</required>
<rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
</attribute>
</tag>
