Thanks for the pointer, Bernd. I'm using v3.0RC2, so the API is a bit different (uses a Comparator, instead of a constant).
I'd rather been hoping to avoid having to dive into the API, as I'd already written the presentation stuff using the tag libraries. However, I think thanks to your suggestion, I see how to wire those bits together now. Thanks for the pointer!
