In any case I just figured out the answer to my original question. To insert a run-time expression for the value of the "value" attribute one has to use single quotes in conjunction with a scriptlet. For example, <logic:equal name="b1" property="p1" value='<%= b2 %>'> conditional content... </logic:equal> means that the value of the property p1 of bean b1 is compared to the String value referenced by bean b2. Without the scriptlet the value attribute would be bound to the literal String value "b2". It seems then that the single quotes are necessary to use a scriptlet within a call to a custom tag.
