Tag handler classes...

[mendy smith]

I am just curious to know whether it is a good idea to have many tag handler classes with not much details in each tag class or is it good to have everything we need to do in a particular tag handler class. I am not sure which is the efficient way of doing this. Let's say there is a report , in which we need to have forward , backward, first or last pages to be reviewed back and forth, then is it a good idea to have 4 tags or is is good to have 1 tag taking an attribute value(parameter value like "first", "last"...).
Thanks,

Custom tag libraries are really for the convenience of the person writing the JSP pages, so I would use whichever method is clearest, easiest and least likely to be screwed up if you have to turn the JSP writing over to somebody else.
