Hmm. The TLD doesn't show it to be required:
<tag-class>org.apache.taglibs.standard.tag.el.sql.UpdateTag</tag-class>
<body-content>JSP</body-content>
<description>
Executes the SQL update defined in its body or through the
sql attribute.
</description>
<attribute>
<name>var</name>
<required>false</required>
<rtexprvalue>false</rtexprvalue>
</attribute>
However, the tag handler did seem to assume it was set; I've fixed that,
since I believe it was a bug. Are you sure the error message you got
wasn't related to a NullPointerException that would have been thrown on an
attempt to call pageContext.setAttribute(null, ...)?
