Scripting elements ...... are disallowed here

[shahin]

I have the following scriptlet in a jsp file

<%
System.out.println( "Evaluating date now" );
java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();
%>
Hello! The time is now <%= date %>

But I get the following error, anybody knows how to fix this?
I am using Spring 3 and Tile 2.2.1

I am using Tile 2.2.1. when I put the scriplet out of tile tag then there is no problem.

<tiles:insertDefinition name="${_template}" flush="true">
<tilesutAttribute name="content" type="string">

JSTL code...

</tilesutAttribute>
</tiles:insertDefinition>
