Amarant,
In JSTL 1.0, the EL must be invoked explicitely by a tag that wants to support it.
This is what all the tags in the EL-based versions of the JSTL taglibs do,
and this is why it does not work by default with your custom tag.
When the EL is officially supported by the JSP spec (JSP 1.3), this will then
be handled transparently by the container.
In the meantime, if you really need to support the EL with your custom tags,
see the source code of the RI for examples, as well as class
org.apache.taglibs.standard.lang.support.ExpressionEvaluatorManager.
