Hello,
Assignments for attributes <% … %> are runtime expressions that are not supported by the JSP standard 1.1. The standard 1.1 is used for the JSP tag library (-> tld file). However, you can switch to JSP standard 1.2. You have to change the tld file of X-Application and to enable runtime expressions for the attributes of the tags.

If you don’t want to switch the standard, you can use the variables mechanism of X-Application, as you described it in your post. However, set the variable in the following way to avoid the problem with non-supported runtime expressions for attributes
<xapp:setvar name="test" scope="session" defaukt=""/><%= useStringBean %></xapp:setvar>
Now, the evaluation of the variable should be the content of the bean output.
Bye,
Christian.
