In general, this is simplified in JSP 2.0 as well. The JSP 1.2
tag-handler protocol isn't terrible once you learn it, but as Eduardo
Pelegri has joked at JavaOne presentations, Gosling himself said he hadn't
had time to work through the tag-handler protocol because of its
difficulty!
If by "arguments" you mean tag attributes, see
http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/guidelines
for some guidelines on handling them correctly; it's a little trickier
than might be evident at first.
