I'm not using JSP 2.0, but I believe you can only use expression language with standard tags supplied (JSTL).
Someone has created "expression language" enabled versions of the standard Struts tags which are currently in the "contrib" area. Why not look at how the standard struts tags were enabled for "expression language" and do the same kind of thing for your custom tag.
