PagedTable and PagedList were supposed to specify the CSS class for the current row using a nested l:row tag:

<l:pagedTable>
   <l:row css="${row.readOnly? '' : 'highlight'}"/>
</l:pagedTable>

This has proven not to work, because the RowTag is evaluated too late. Instead, a new rowCssClass attribute should be added to both paged tags:

<l:pagedTable rowCssClass="${row.readOnly? '' : 'highlight'}">

To make this work, EL execution fro this attribute should be delegated to the tag, and not done by the JSP engine. This can be configured in the TLD file.
