While it's not needed to write a wrapper class, you do need a java snippet.
Something along the lines of this:
<%
Object object = pageContext.findAttribute("annot instance name");
SearchText searchText =
object.getClass().getAnnotation(SearchText.class);
String name = searchText == null ? null : searchText.name();
%>
