Is it possible to use a tag w/in a tag with tag files?

[Matt Raible]

I want to do something like this:

<tag:head><tag:js src="foo.js"/></tag:head>

However, when I use body-content="scriptless" in head.tag, it blows up. When I use body-content="tagdependent", "<tag:js src="foo.js"/>" is spit out w/o being evaluated.

Thanks,

it blows up

Some details on the explosion might be helpful.

Nevermind, I got it working - don't know what was causing the non-evaluation before.

I do have a new problem though - if I turn on trimSpaces in Tomcat's web.xml - all the lines spit out by my tag files are on the same line. With a regular JSP, line breaks are honored. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Matt

No, but why does it matter?

It doesn't matter for an aesthetics point of view, but web developers might get annoyed the output doesn't look like their input. It works fine on JSPs, just not on Tag files. I'm using Tomcat 5.0.25.

As the Dread Pirate Roberts once said "Get used to disappointment."

Seriously, worrying about what the output of a JSP looks like is really not a very valid concern.
