Strange. Although I don't have any problems reading or writing jsp in the old syntax, my hands on experience with it togheter with EL is somewhat limited, since I write my pages exclusively as jsp documents (xml). Your code seems alright to me. Only difference I can see from my example is this: <%@ attribute name="items" required="true" %> <jsp:directive.attribute name="objects" type="java.lang.Object" required="true"/> Where I declare the type and you don't. It might be that the "old" jsp style behaves in a different manner that I'm not aware of, and that it translates into some sort of simpler non-object aware level on parameters, thereby just invoking toString() for all of them? Have you tried to write your tag as a jsp document (xml) as in my example to see if you can get to the type information from there?
