Mark (G.),
Try copying and pasting this sucker into a JSP (don't forget the taglib
import):
<%
session.setAttribute("foo","bar");
session.setAttribute("bar","bubba");
%>
<logic:equal name='<%= (String)session.getAttribute("foo") %>'
value="bubba">
You should see this.
</logic:equal>
That doesn't work for you? If not, i'd ask for a refund :)
