Yes, the default value for the type attribute of the <%@ attribute %> directive in tag files is java.lang.String since that's by far the most common type of parameter passed to tag files.
Incidentally, the default value for the body-content attribute of the <%@ tag %> directive is 'scriptless' so you didn't need to type that in your tag file. Saves a few keystrokes :)

Hi Erik,
Only difference I can see from my example is this:
<%@ attribute name="items" required="true" %>
<jsp:directive.attribute name="objects"
type="java.lang.Object" required="true"/>
That was it - I added the type="java.util.Collection" to my attribute definition and bingo - I can access the objects...
Thanks for that. Chris _____________________________________________________________
