The value passed to tag attribute is a simple String.
You have to EVALUATE IT as a expression to get the real value.

You can read the source of Struts2 tag lib to study how they evaluate
the expression.

For example:
in class [org.apache.struts2.components.Property]
(This class is invoked by tag <s:property>)

it calls:
actualValue = (String) getStack().findValue(value, String.class,
throwExceptionOnELFailure);
to retrieve the real value from the value expression

Hope this helps.
