You are trying to use a JSP action element to set the attribute value of
another custom action, and that is not allowed according to the JSP spec.
You must use a JSP expression to set the attribute value instead:
<pinlib:foo value="<%= addressInfo.getAddress() %>" />
Most likely you're confusing this scenario with another scenario I
describe in the book, namely setting the attribute value for an HTML
element using the getProperty action, e.g.
<input name="userName" value="<jsp:getProperty name="user"
property="userName" />">
This works because the web container treats the HTML element as template
text; it's doesn't interpret the HTML elements so as far as the
container is concerned, the above is the same as:
Any text <jsp:getProperty name="user"
property="userName" /> Any text
I hope you understand the difference.
