Given a tag handler defined with <bodycontent>JSP</bodycontent> which implements TagSupport and ONLY overrides doAfterBody with the following lines:
public int doAfterBody() throws JspException {
try { pageContext.getOut().print(� how are you? �);}catch(IOException e) {}
return SKIP_BODY;
}
What will be the result of a jsp with the following part?
<prefix:sufix>
<i>Hello</i>
</prefix:sufix>
1) The jsp page will print: Hello
2) The jsp page will print: Hello how are you?
3) The jsp page will print: how are you? Hello
4) The jsp won't print anything.
The answer is :
4) The jsp won't print anything.
TagSupport.doStartTag by default returns SKIP_BODY and as it is not overriden the body is ignored.
As I remembered that TagSupport doesn't
have doAfterBody, we have to implement
BodyTagSupport... please correct me if
I am wrong.
And what is the different between
JSP 1.1 & JSP 1.2 ?
It seems like I studied JSP 1.1 a lot,
and there are some big different..
Thx..

Since TagSupport does not call doAfterBody method the JSP will print blank since doStartTag returns SKIP_BODY by default and there is no doEndTag method also defined ..the method DoAfterBody is just like any other method which has no role to play during the time the tag gets executed..

That is not true.
TagSupport does have doAfterBody. doAfterBody is defined in IterationTag interface and TagSupport implements InterationTag interface. Hence it must have a default implementation for the doAfterBody method, which returns a SKIP_BODY.

Yes, there are bid differences. You do have to follow JSP.1.2 version on this.

i didn't get this one at all.
i have tried to run it, and if i use TagSupport i get a compilation error. It runs with BodyTagSupport only and outputs "Hello"...How come?

When you used TagSupport, what did you return from doStartTag() and what was the compilation error?
