jsp:attribute with a non string body

           Summary: jsp:attribute with a non string body
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: Nightly Build
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper2
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: prasad.subramanian@sun.com


If we have a tag that has an attribute that accepts non -string objects as
values,using <jsp:attribute> to supply values to the attribute throws an
exception. This is a complie time error , this happens because the body of the
jsp:attribute is evaluated ansd converted to a string and then assigned to the
setter method of the tag handler which in turn takes in a argument of type other
than string.
The body of the jsp:attribute contains a expression.

Here is the JSP:

<!-- This JSP tests the use of jsp:attribute and jsp:body with a Custom tag
implementing body support -->

<%@taglib uri="/WEB-INF/JSPAttTL.tld" prefix="att" %>
<%@page import="java.util.*" %>
<jsp:useBean id="depts" class="tlitertag.OrgList" />
<att:list name="dept"  >
	<jsp:attribute>
		${depts.organization}
	</jsp:attribute>

    <jsp:body>
      <%=pageContext.getAttribute("dept") %>
    </jsp:body>
</att:list>
========
Here entity accepts a value of type java.util.ArrayList and organization is a
property of type ArrayList
