Hi all. I am using the XML form of JSP (1.2) and wish to write the equivalent of the following.
<jsp:scriptlet> int myvar = 1; </jsp:scriptlet> <input type="hidden" value="%= myvar %"/> However this doesn't work as the "%= myvar %" is only evaluated as an expression when being passed to custom tags. So for example the following is ok: <html:hidden value="%= myvar %"/> .. but I've tried everything I can think of (short of using println statements!) to output the value of any type of variable (not just scripting ones) to normal output tag attributes - but nothing works. NOTE: I cannot use "<%= myvar %>" or "<jsp:expression> myvar </jsp:expression>" as these are not well formed XML and so the page will not compile. Help! I don't know if I am missing something obvious or if this is just not possible!
