Thanks for the info Hans. That solved my problem. I was looking in exactly
the wrong area. I figured I was passing the data wrong, when in fact I was
describe what I was passing wrong.
Either way thanks a million,

What you want to do works (if I understand you correctly). The main
problem seems to be that you have not declared the attribute to
accept
a "request-time attribute value", i.e. an expression like
"<%=categoryData%>", so the JSP container treats it as a static
string
value instead of evaluating the expression and setting the attribute
to the resulting value.
Add
<attribute>
...
<rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
</attribute>
for the tag in the TLD to declare that the attribute accepts request-
time attribute values.
