FYI, this is something being looked into for the next JSP spec. It'd be

Subject: Re: Custom Tag Scripting Variables
As I understand it, you'll have to use the object equivalents to these types
(Boolean, Integer, and so on), and then convert them to their base types on
an
as-needed basis. I had to do this to set and react to session variables:
<% if ((Boolean)session.getAttribute("userloggedin")).booleanValue()
{ doSomething(); }
