JSP/Bean/Custom Tag Design Question

[Robert Jones]

I'm working on my first JSP application and I've run into a design
problem that I can't seem to find a good solution to. I need to access
a dynamic list of files and display some information about each of them
in a table in a JSP page.

My problem is that I need to access indexed elements of a bean, through
a custom tag, and--at times--within a JSTL tag. The within the JSTL tag
is what's giving me the problems. Maybe I'm using the wrong tools for
the job. I'm using the custom tag for accessing the indexed elements,
but I don't think I can embed this in the the JSTL tags.

Any ideas or pointers would be welcome.
