writing a custom tag that can use EL

[Adam Hardy]

Hello All,

I am writing a tag to sit inside a ForEachTag and output <tr> html 
elements with alternating background color, i.e. a tableRowTag.

I have one already that I am basing it on, that works inside the struts' 
LogicIterateTag. What I need to do is change the functionality so that 
my TableRowTag will pick up the iteration index number from the parent. 
I am planning on doing it like this:

<c:forEach var="item" items="${items}" varStatus="status">
  <my:rowTag evenStyle="rowEven" oddStyle="rowOdd" 
rowNumber="${status.count}">
     <td............
        stuff........
  </my:row>
</c:forEach>

I don't know where to start programming my tag's setRowNumber() so that 
it will interpret the EL specified. I assume there must be some classes 
in some jar somewhere, something I need to implement or extend?

Thanks,
Adam
