Using JSTL EL in my own custom tags

[Frank Carver]

I've recently been playing with the JSTL "standard tags", and I've become addicted to EL-expressions. They are so much simpler and more understandable than the horrific and contra-xml RT-expressions available in basic JSP.
Now, here's my question - does anyone (Rick?, Scott?) have any suggestions on using EL in my own custom tags.
I've found some example code which seems based on the jakarta implementation (the org.apache... classes give it away) and some which seem to imply a standard javax.servlet.jstl... package space, but none of these seem to work with Resin.
I guess I could bite the bullet and abandon Resin's built-in JSTL support in favour of the jakarta implementation, but I'd like to get some idea of whether this can be done direct with Resin, first.

The real answer is that you should wait for JSP 2.0. (You can play with it in the Resin 3.0 snapshot. Bug reports are welcome :-))
With JSP 2.0, any RT tag attribute automatically can use a JSTL expression. You don't need to modify your tag library at all, it just automatically works.
You also get the new <jsp:attribute> capability for free with no changes needed to your tag library.

Scott showing up as a greenhorn just aint right.
Scott is the bomb!
(to those not familiar with American Jive... that is a good thing)

OK. Work practicalities have kept me off the bleeding edge of Resin for a while, but I have a bit of time now, so "snapsshot" - here I come.
