extending existing tag libraries

[aleah de guzman]

hi, im new in creating custom tags. are existing custom tags can be extended? like the ones in struts (bean, html and logic)?

[Bear Bibeault]

Tag handlers are classes like any other Java class, so the answer is the same: maybe.

If the tag handlers aren't declared final, and their design is such that they are suitable for extending, then yes.

[aleah de guzman]

how about their tlds? is there a proper way of extending the tlds or i need to get the existing tlds and update them accordingly?

[Bear Bibeault]

Tlds cannot be extended. You'll need to copy and ajust them yourself.
