Loading attributes into a tag attribute

[Mike Zatko]

Hello,
   I am wondering what is the best method for loading a variable passed 
to a page as an attribute into a tag's attribute?

For Example:

I have a String stored in a request attribute and it's called "startDate".
In the JSP, I do the following:
<bean:define id="startDate" name="startDate"/>
<bean:message key="salesResults.main.table.title" arg0='<%= new 
String("" + startDate) %>'/>

It strikes me that there is probably a better, cleaner way to do this.
How would you use JSTL to do this? Originally, I wanted to use JSTL but 
it appears that the c:set tag doesn't make startDate available as a 
scripting value.

<c:set var="startDate" property="${startDate}"/>
