JSTL (or any custom action, for that matter) can't see scripting
variables, only so-called "scoped variables" (objects placed in one
of JSP scopes: page, request, session or application). So you must
put your scripting variables into a scope first:
<%
String myname = "troy";
pageContext.setAttribute("myname", myname);
%>
