Hello peeps, I was just wondering what the (no doubt many and varied) ways people are passing data/objects/thing-ummies-of-use to their custom tags are?
There are the obvious ones, of course, but does anyone use variations, slight modifications or just break the rules completely?
Feel free to note down your ideas here

Best regards,
Matt.

Currently I alternate between passing values as rtexprvalues (<%= myObject %> ) or just passing tags the name of scoped attributes that the tag handlers can use to lookup the object themselves. Or, of course, you can use the body content and/or nest tags.
Now with JSP 2.0 around the corner, we can finally (easily) use the expression language. Hurray!
