You are correct that <c:set> does not create a scripting variable, so
you can't use the specified identifier in a scriptlet. The question,
though, is why are you still using a scriptlet expression? Why not
use an EL expression instead?
<pg:pager maxPageItems="${pageItems}"/>
or, to avoid needing to do the <c:set> in the first place:
<pg:pager maxPageItems="${optionsForm.pagItems}"/>
The appropriate conversions will happen for you automatically.
