Can a Custom Tag support jstl tag ?

[Waez Ali]

Hi,

I have a custom Tag and I want to use C:out in that as given below

<test:input type="text" value="<c:out value=${requestScope.vb.name}" />

But it doesn't work, Can someone help me how I can use C:OUT in my Custom Tag ? Is there any way to do so or its not possible.

Thanks in Advance

First, you need to set the attribute on the tld as <rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>.
Then you should use directly the el expression directly.

You cannot use any JSP action as the attribute of another action. If you need the encoding that <c;out> performs, check out the JSTL fn:escapeXML() function.
