Could you please explain me why we should use JSTL instead of Jakarta TagLibs.
we are using tags from tag library developed by us. We are thinking of switching to Jakarta taglibs for our future enhancements.
Thanks

David,
I have read your book 'Advanced JavaServer Pages' and I did learn a good deal from it.
Some of the examples in the book were missing from the zip file on the website, and I had trouble compiling at least one thing (forgot now). I think it could have been edited better.
In writing custom tags, I soon came to the realization that it is best to avoid using them whenever it is possible to use JSTL.
My reasoning:
JSTL is not proprietary, so everyone else doesn't have to learn all your special tags and attributes.
JSTL is already available. Writing custom tags where you could instead use JSTL is a waste of effort. In a way, writing a custom tag can be like rewriting a core class such as ArrayList.
I am looking forward to winning and reading your book.

I bought your book "Graphic Java 2, Volume 2: Swing" about three years ago. It is still one of my most used reference book. Thank you very much for producing such a wonderful book. I am a newer to JSTL and want to know if JSTL database tag supports database store procedure.
I am looking forward to reading your new book.![]()

Hey David! Just stopping in from the Swing/JFC/AWT forum.
I really enjoyed your books in the Graphic Java series... in Volume 2 : Swing more books in the series were listed in the front. I haven't seen any past Volume 2 for a long time, though... are any of these further volumes currently planned for release? Or have you moved on to server-side Java exclusively?
Thanks,
-Nate

Does the book cover taglibs within a larger framework? Jakarta, Sun taglibs?
Is there a CD with example included

I have read this book and I am not sure if it could have been any easier to implement localization without having read your book particularly regarding the difference between the EL and RT based libraries.
Thanks for a great resource!

Is there a section in your book that list all the JSTL tags, and their functionality?

Someone claimed it'd be an Object in this thread. David, could you point me to the correct place in the JSTL specification where this behavior is explained?[/QB]

David,
A few questions:
a) What is the relation between JSTL and JSF ?
b) Does JSTL tags supercede those of Struts ?
c) Does JSTL provide the ability to skin websites (i.e. themes, look and feel)
Thanks
Gavin
