That looks like a problem that occurs with several servlet containers.
JSP compilers are required to perform conversions between the String
version of custom tag attribute values and the corresponding data type of
the underlying property (boolean in this case). This requirement was not
clear in the JSP 1.1 spec, but was clarified in an errata published last
April, available at:
http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/download.html
This should probably be reported as a bug to Sybase.
