It don't works, because the JSP local variable is not an OGNL local variable.
The JSP local variable will be translated into a local variable of the Servlet code, and it is a local variable of Java language, so you can not reference it in the OGNL expression. An OGNL local variable should be [put into] the value stack of OGNL context, before you can reference it in other OGNL expression. Before you can reference an OGNL local variable, you need define it, using <s:set> tag (In struts2).
