Oh, my mistake then -- I was reading examples of custom tags and they all seemed to use strings, so I assumed that you had to parse the strings to make anything more complicated than a string (such as a serialized object or something).

Subject: pass complex object to custom tag
Is there a way to pass something other than a string to a custom tag through the attributes?
I have a class I've written and I'd love to find a way to pass it to a custom tag for processing. This would separate the display logic from the business logic.
<jsp:useBean id="user" class="UserBean" />
<ptcbe:mainpagetable src="<%= user.getBudgetList() %>" />
This didn't work? Just make your tag handler have a method like setSrc(UserBean src) and that should work fine.
