Scripting in body of Custom Tags

[Puneet Vashisht]

Hi guyz,

I'm very confused about this thing.

Simple tag cannot have scripting in their body, because JspFragment must not contain any scripting elements.
So the <body-content> tag in tld file, cannot have a value
<body-content>JSP</body-content>

Now my question is, are classic tags allowed to have scripting in their bodies, i mean can i write something like this :

<%! int i%>
<my:ClassicTag>
<%=i++;>
</my:ClassicTag>

If they are not, then what is <body-content>JSP</body-content> used for. I mean if it is not used with Simple Tag, Tag File, where is it used??

Please clearify....

thankz,

Hi,

classic tags can have scripting in it's body.
so this
<%! int i%>
<my:ClassicTag>
<%=i++;>
</my:ClassicTag>
is possible.
and you have to use <body-content>JSP</body-content> in the DD for the tag.
