The <bean:cookie> tag defines a bean of type javax.servlet.http.Cookie (or
an array of them if the 'multiple' attribute is specified). You'll need to
access the 'value' property, as you are doing in the scriptlet code. Also,
you need to use different quote characters to avoid conflicts.
Try this:
<bean:cookie id="phonecookie" name="checkout_phone" />
<input type="text" name="phone" value='<bean:write name="phonecookie"
property="value"/>'/>
