Description Ryan Lubke 2002-03-18 22:55:37 UTC 
Given:

<c:set var="someVar" value="${null}"/>


Result:

javax.servlet.ServletException: The "value" attribute illegally evaluated to
"null" or "" in <set>

JSTL Public Draft, Section 4.3, 'Null and Error Handling':
"If 'value' is null, the scoped variable defined by var and scope is removed."
