            <img src="images/someLogo.gif"/>

Answer 1

First retrieve tool tip text into a variable and use it in img title attribute.

<img src="images/someLogo.gif" title="${tooltipText}"/>  

on mouseover, title text is displayed as tool tip.

Answer 2

If your value is set in application context use this:

<img src="images/someLogo.gif" title="<%=application.getAttribute("YOUR_VAR_NAME")%>"/> 

or

<img src="images/someLogo.gif" alt="<%=application.getAttribute("YOUR_VAR_NAME")%>"/>
