I understand the difference, its a nice theory, but it does'nt work.
I tried something smilair
<% String name=request.getParameter("address"); %>
<pinlib:foo value=" <% name %>" />
With the result that the string <% name %> is passed through to the tag, a
quick look at the generated source shows
_jspx_th_pinlib_arg_0.setPageContext(pageContext);
_jspx_th_pinlib_arg_0.setParent(_jspx_th_pinlib_system
_0);
_jspx_th_pinlib_foo_0.setValue(" <% name %>");
int _jspx_eval_pinlib_foo_0 = _jspx_th_pinlib_arg_0.doStartTag();
I have checked the setting in the tab ligrary xml file, the retexprvalue is set
to true.
So I am still stuck
