SyntaxExecption is thrown by the parser for the following line:
if ( #{flag}){ doSomething() }

The problem is the space between if( an the # char.
Parser skips comments and white space after the opening parenthesis in "if ( ..."
and the '#' character is a comment.

To work around the problem:

Replace "attribute" with "pageSession"; "session"; or whatever you need...

OR, you can do:

    if ("#{flag}") { doSomething() }

OR even:

    if (condition="#{flag}") { doSomething() }

FYI, the "if" functionality is implemented as a handler with a single input value called
"condition". Using it w/o quotes or a parameter name is a convenience feature.
