Okay. So you're writing a JSP Tag file, not a JSP Java tag. Understood. The JSP should evaluate the attribute for you. So I don't know why it is not, but I am going to take a shot in the dark.
<%@ tag isELIgnored="false" %> Add isELIgnored="false" to the tag file directive and see what happens.

I just wrote a custom.tag put it in my WEB-INF/tags/ directory and then did this in my code: <%@ taglib prefix="mytags" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags/" %> Do I need to make a TLD, or can I just define rtexprvalue to be true in my taglib line above? Thank you!

Felix Khazin wrote: Sure, Sorry about that... My custom tag takes in an integer value and then does some math to it. This is the error I am getting: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "${pageSize}" This error is coming from a line in my custom tag where I attempt to parse the string to get an int. What's interesting is that my custom tag gets the string ${pageSize} and not the evaluated string which in this is case is 9.

I have a controller that sets an attribute for example: request.setAttribute("pageSize", _pageSize); In my view if I use JSTL like , everything is fine and it gets output. But if I want to use that same EL expression in a custom tag it doesn't work. So for example I have this doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas?
