es an object/string conversion problem in JSP tag library.

In the customer's tag library extension, they do a setvalue tag
which takes a "value" attribute of type Object.  Example,
<dsp:setvalue....value="3"/>  causes a MissingResourceException
because the jsp.erorr.unable.to_convert_string is missing, as is
 jsp.error.bad_string_char, and jsp.erorr.bad_string_Character.

****************************************************************
Custom tag library tag performance improvements from
Jasper 3.2.3 code caused setting of tag library objects
of type Object to throw a conversion exception.
Performance improvement regressed earlier behavior
which contained functionality not required
by the JSP 1.1 specification.
Problem conclusion
Added functionality of setting attributes of type Object
in custom tag libraries due to regression from
prior release since it had no impact on any other
type of attribute.
