problem with using Tag and Scriplets together

[J Gotsch]

  Any idea how I can set a local JSP variable with the value of a bean property 
in a JSP?
   
  In the example below, I want to set tempRole to the value of the 
securityRoleName prperty.   But This is not working. 
   
   
  <% String tempRole = null; %>
   
  <logic:present name="securityRoleTO" property="securityRoleName"> 
  
  
  
         <% if (tempRole==null) { tempRole = %> securityRoleName <% ;} %>
