The answer is that you cannot nest scriplets tags, and it also doesn't make sense to do it (becuase you can't evaluate server-side variables on the client-side).

You should replace:

"...value='<%=((SurveyAnswerBean)answerList.get(answerList.size()-"+(init+1) +")).getAnswerText()%>'...

with:

"...value='" + ((SurveyAnswerBean)answerList.get(answerList.size()-(init+1))).getAnswerText() +"'...
