<c:out ... Is it a custom tag?

[Sai Surya]

Dear All,

The HFSJ has a mock exam question ...

Q. Assuming the appropriate taglib directives, which are valid examples of custom tag usage?
(Choose all that apply.)

A. <foo:bar/>
B. <my:tag></my:tag>
C. <mytag value="x"/>
D. <c:out value="x"/>
E. <jsp:setProperty name="a" property="b" value="c"/>

I answered A and B. However, the correct answer is ABD.

Since the question only asks the valid example of custom tag, I considered <c:out as NOT custom since its part of JSTL.

Am I correct?

Unlike the standard actions, the JSTL must be declared via a taglib declaration on the page, so it can be considered a custom tag library even if it is based upon a standard.
