You're using a "JSP scriptlet" instead of a "JSP expression". It should
be like this instead:
<% String name=request.getParameter("address"); %>
<pinlib:foo value="<%= name %>" />
Note the equal sign ("=") after the percent sign ("%"); that's what
makes it a "JSP expression".

Maybe it's just a typo in your mail, but it should be "rtexprvalue", not
"retexprvalue".
