Which version are you actually running. "The latest version" is somewhat
ambiguous?

This should work fine in any version of Java, as long as you have declared
in your tag library descriptor that the "customer" attribute can accept
runtime expressions:
<attribute>
<name>customer</name>
<required>false</required> <!-- or true if needed -->
<rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
</attribute>
