Using var in XPath expression inside c:foreach

Question

Hi all, this is my first question here, so please be gentle ;)

I'm trying to loop through a list of items, and use the value of each item in an XPath expression:

Works:

<c:forEach var="item" items="${items}">                         
    <x:out select="$some_xml//results[@attr1='some_val']/@attr" />
</c:forEach>

Fails:

<c:forEach var="item" items="${items}">                         
    <x:out select="$some_xml//results[@attr1=$item]/@attr" />
</c:forEach>

The error is: resolveVariable for variable item returning null

How can i use the "item" var inside that XPath expression?
