Because my production environment is still in JSP 1.2. And it looks like it will be for some time.
In other words I still have to work with tomcat 4.1 but I'm trying to make as much code possible ready for the upgrade to tomcat 5.

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.
