I think this is another place where the docs (or the examples in the
docs) don't quite match reality. I've seen similar problems trying to
access properties/variables in this way, and noticed that code used in
the plugins looked different. Try something like this:
<j:if test="${context.getVariable('a') == 'yes'}">
<echo message="Success"/>
</j:if>

Hi,
For me its not an issue.
Let s try to define the variable a as a String:
<j:set var="a">${c}</j:set>
