The syntax for request-time expressions is limited to expressions. The
first syntax is correct, the second is not.
We have talked some about allowing what you want to do, but we have not
got there. For example, a future spec COULD allow for something like
the following syntax:
<jsp:forward>
<jsp:attributeName>page</jsp:attributeName>
<jsp:attributeValue><%= loginHandler.getNextPage()
%></jsp:attributeValue>
</jsp:forward>
which would very naturally extend to what you want.
NOTE: The above example is "from the hip"; no promises the JSP spec will
ever do something like that :-).
Hope this helps,
