Note that JSP 2.0 provides essentially the same thing anywhere in
template text, not just in tag attributes ... the only difference is
you need curly braces around the expressions:
<p>Hello ${customer.name},</p>
<p>Your account balance is ${customer.account.total} and
was due on ${customer.account.dueDate}. Pay up or else!</p>
<p>Your friendly accounts receiveable team</p>
