RE: pass complex object to custom tag
The tag shouldn't have rtexexpr set to true in its TLD too?

Re: pass complex object to custom tag
You could pass the object name, property name, and scope to the tag, then use reflection to do it - the commons-beanutils stuff makes this painless. It is really simple and prowerful, honest!

Oh, my mistake then -- I was reading examples of custom tags and they all seemed to use strings, so I assumed that you had to parse the strings to make anything more complicated than a string (such as a serialized object or something). I guess that's only if you don't use a JSP exprssion (you hard code an attribute value). Erik - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: pass complex object to custom tag
After experimentation, I guess you can't use the jsp:getProperty tag as an attribute of a custom tag, although you can use a JSP expression to achieve the same effect. So, it works, just not the way that I originally tried to do it.
