Summary: Conversion from String to Object doesn't work. Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0 Final Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: Other Component: Jasper AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I have an attribute of a custom tag whose type is Object with a setter method which looks like public void setObject (Object object); and I set the attribute in the JSP page to a literal string ...object="hello world"... it gets compiled into the following ....setObject (new String (hello world)); Notice that the string is unquoted so it fails to build. The fix is to change line 304 of TagBeginGenerator.java from return "new String(" + s + ")"; to return "new String(" + writer.quoteString (s) + ")"; Additionally why does the specification require that this conversion be implemented this way, what is wrong with treating it just like the conversion to String and doing return writer.quoteString(s); instead which will eliminate the need for creating a new String object.
