I'm afraid this isn't correct. The JSP 1.1 spec, in section 2.13.2, says
you can use setProperty to set property values of any type, e.g. using the
value attribute with a request-time expression.
But there are restrictions on the types a String value can be converted to.
Since HTTP parameters are always Strings, these restrictions affects the
type of properties that can be set using the param attribute.
Read the spec for all details.
Anyway, the original message from Kevin (below) describes what I consider to
be a bug in JSWDK-1.0. I suggest you try it in the upcoming JSP reference
implementation being developed in the Jakarta project, see
http://jakarta.apache.org. If it's a problem in this version as well, either
look at the source code and try to figure out why and submit a patch, or
report it as a bug on the Jakarta mailing list.
