YOU CAN'T NEST TAGS. You, or anyone else, cannot nest tags. Tags cannot be nested. Nesting tags is prohibited. If you nest a tag inside another tag, the page won't compile. Nesting tags ist verbotten. Do not nest tags if you want your page to work. The following won't work: <html:test property="<bean:write property="something" />" /> The above won't work. Working pages do not have nested tags. The JSP specification prohibits nesting tags. If you nest tags, you are supporting terrorists. If you put one tag inside the attribute of another tag, the page will not compile.
