html:link appears not to respect scriptlets inside atribute values

[Gus Heck]

The following doesn't seem to be working as I would expect... I sort of 
suspect that this may not be a struts issue, but I really thought you 
were supposed to be able to drop in jsp expressions anywhere.

<html:link page="/prototypes/PopulateLocation.do?row=<%= 
this.should.fail %>">Edit</html:link>

is giving me this html output:

<a href="/friendDB/prototypes/PopulateLocation.do?row=<%= 
this.should.fail %>">Edit</a>

should fail as this.should.fail cannot exist, but it is getting 
reproduced textually instead. I have this really bad feeling I am 
forgetting something, or have missed something basic, but cant figure 
out what searches would bring up the answer.
