Possible bug w/ custom tags and JSP

[sseaman]

I have a custom tag like so:
<render:render template="../../../global/comment/commentShow.jsp">
<render:put key="BGCOLOR" value="<%=bgColors[bgColorIdx]%>"/>
<render:put key="COMMENT" value="<%=comment%>"/>
<render:put key="REPLY_LINK" value="/leaguecentral/lc/schedule/comment/commentReply.jsp?eventId=<%=eventId%>&parentId=<%=comment.getCommentId()%>"/>
</render:render>

The <%=%> does not seem to get replaced for my REPLY_LINK variable. All of the others seem to work fine.

Also, when testing, I put two seperate <%=%>'s in the value field for one of my variables and the JSP blows up. If I have one <%=%> it works fine.

Is this a bug in Jboss' JSP engine?

To expand further:

It seems to occur any time i ahve text in my value="" tag before the <%=%>
i.e. this would also not work:
value="blah blah blah <%=test%>"

Anyone know why this is occurring?
