This would be double-evaluation, JSP doesn’t work like this—tags can’t used
as property values. But you should be able use standard JSP EL iirc.

That said, I’d take the opportunity to clean up JSPs and JS since you’re
rewriting everything anyway and split up the JS and markup if you’re not
also migrating the front end away from JSP.
