Source is jdiscuss mock
For a tag to accept any valid jsp code as its body, what should be the value of <body-content> for this tag's taglib descriptor?

A.JSP
B.jsp
C.any
D.text
E.The <body-content> subelement itself may be absent.

Correct answer is E.

But I think the answer is A.

if you are choosing A as answer, your tag should be a classic tag handler.
Here they have declared only the Tag. So JSP shouldnt be the answer.

I have tried with tomcat.

My findings are

without the body-content element in tld

Classic Tag handler

-- evaluating the Scripting elements.

Simple Tag Handler

-- Runtime Error.
The TLD for the class <ClassName> specifies an invalid body-content (JSP) for a SimpleTag.


-- Runtime Error
Scripting elements ( <%!, <jsp eclaration, <%=, <jsp:expression, <%, <jsp:scriptlet ) are disallowed here.

Answer is A (JSP). The question implies that it is about classic tags.

E is wrong, since the body-content tag is mandatory. See specs.

Deepa, great that you tested it. But I have some questions about it.

This surprises me, since the body-content tag is mandatory.

What do you mean by runtime error? Doesn't the container give an error at startup?

body-content is optional see specs:

Simple Tags:
Table JSP.8-2 Details of tag directive attributes

body-content (optional) Provides information on the content of the body of
this tag. Can be either empty, tagdependent, or scriptless. A
translation error will result if JSP or any other value is used.
Defaults to scriptless.


This for Classic Tags:
tagdependent The body of the tag is interpreted by the tag implementation itself,
and is most likely in a different �langage�, e.g embedded SQL statements.
JSP The body of the tag contains nested JSP syntax
empty The body must be empty
This element is optional; the default value is JSP


Thanks and Regards
Joy

Hi Joy,

At what page, and from which specs version exactly did you get that?

The diagram at page 3-25 of JSP 2.1 specs indicates that name, tag-class and body-content are mandatory elements. The optional ones (like attribute and tei-class) have either a * or an ? next to their name.

I got it from
jsp-2_0-fr-spec.pdf

Search with body-content and you will see the text I copy pasted.


Thanks and Regards
Joy

Thanks Joy, got the specs.

Simple Tags:
Table JSP.8-2 Details of tag directive attributes

body-content (optional) Provides information on the content of the body of
this tag. Can be either empty, tagdependent, or scriptless. A
translation error will result if JSP or any other value is used.
Defaults to scriptless.


Note that this is about attributes of a tag (page) directive , not TLD's!


This for Classic Tags:
tagdependent The body of the tag is interpreted by the tag implementation itself,
and is most likely in a different �langage�, e.g embedded SQL statements.
JSP The body of the tag contains nested JSP syntax
empty The body must be empty
This element is optional; the default value is JSP.


This is quoted from the JSP 1.2 DTD. This also probably explains why in the JDiscuss answer E is given: it must have been from an old JSP 1.2 exam.
A few pages above the 1.2 DTD, page 3-17, the same schema is printed as I mentioned in my previous post. Its title is: XML Schema for TLD, JSP 2.0. As I said, there it defines the tag as mandatory.

Yet if I ommit the tag in Tomcat with the 2.0 xsd schema, it gives the following runtime (!) error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /jsp/thread.jsp(8,0) The TLD for the class customtags.ShowPosts specifies an invalid body-content (JSP) for a SimpleTag.
This suggests it still uses the 1.2 schema: tag is optional and defaults to JSP!

I give up now.

I'm abit confused now as well, cos according to HFS2 pg 508, it say <body-content> tag inside TLD is mandatory, its only optional on tag files.
