The following JSP code is not being compiled correctly by the Tomcat 
environment.

I am using Jbuilder8 enterprise with Tomcat4 and Struts 1.1

My jsp file contains the following scriptlet similar to the following (I have 
substituted so that it is generic):

<dt:format pattern="<%=new String('some method or variable call')%>"> 
    <dt:currentTime/>
</dt:format>

When the JSP servlet gets built, the scriplet is not compiled into java code 
but is left as a full string inside the servlet java code "<%=new String('some 
method or variable call')%>"

_jspx_th_dt_format_1.setPattern("<%=new String('some method or variable call')%
>");

Where as the desired result would be the following compilation:

_jspx_th_dt_format_1.setPattern(new String('some method or variable call'));
