hi senthil,
The Simple tag have a simpler life-cycle than the old custom tag. In most of the cases Simple tags are easy to develop than the Custom tags, as there is normaly only doTag method is to be implemnt.
But the Simple tag handlers are not reused. So every-time it create a new object when it invoked. This may be extra burden, if that tag object is complex.
Secondly, Yo can not use the
JSP as the body-content to the Simple tag. That means You can not have Scripting element processing in Simple tag.
In case you want to process the non standard body (tagdependent) instead of only passing it to the output Stream, it require extra effords in case of Simple tags. The bodyContent object in the give you the methods to return the body as
String.
Hope this help you
Thanks
