I'm still not entirely what you're decoding from and
to; it sounds like something is fundamentally broken,
but...
Remember that with OGNL you *can* call arbitrary
methods, including static utility methods, from with
the EL. So with either a static decoding class or
(preferably) a service object in your action if you're
iterating over a list you can call methods on items
from that list.
