The example above is perfectly legal, assuming that the custom action
attribute is declared as accepting a "request-time attribute value" in the
TLD:
...
<attribute>
<name>attr1</name>
<rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
</attribute>
...
When you use a JSP expression to set an attribute value like this, it is
*not* converted to a String (as opposed to when you use a JSP expression
anywhere else in the page).
