 that decision is certainly open to the community for discussion.

Some people might think that Struts is more of a framework than also a
taglib collection, keeping some people away from using the taglibs
thinking it implies using the framework as well.

Thanx for the response. I implemented that taglib anyway, and since it
was my first taglib ever, it was a nice exercise. :)

regexp taglib; am i smoking?

[Torgeir Veimo]

Why do I get 

search.jsp [-1:-1] org/apache/oro/text/regex/MalformedPatternException
Errors compiling search [LMod].

on the tag 

rx:regexp id="rx1"s/test1/mi/rx:regexp

This is beyond me.

URLEncoder taglib

[Torgeir Veimo]

I'm about to create a small taglib that does the same as
java.net.URLEncoder, eg. like 
url:encodetext to be encoded/url:encode.

But do anyone of you know of any similar taglib that does the same, to
save me some work?

escape =, etc

[Torgeir Veimo]

Is there a taglib that can escape string from other request for using
the string in a a href="%=value%" so that eg. = or  are renamed
properly.

using self created Context with jndi taglib

[Torgeir Veimo]

I'm trying to use the jndi taglib with a context that comes from my own
context pool.

The code is included below. But I guess that the context needs to be
references in the PageContext in order to be found by the tag?

Is there an easy way to do this? I plan to create a tag that fetches a
context from my context pool later, but for now it would be nice to be
able to put a context into the pagecontext temporarily.


%@page contentType="text/html" import="profile.*, javax.naming.*" %
%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/jndi" prefix="jndi" %
html
headtitleProfile/title/head
body

h3Profile for /h3

%
ContextPool ctxPool = (ContextPool)
session.getAttribute("contextPool");
System.out.println("context pool retrieved: " + ctxPool);

System.out.println("using dn: " +
request.getSession().getAttribute("username") 
+ ", credentials: " + 
request.getSession().getAttribute("credentials"));

Context testCtx =
ctxPool.getContext((String)request.getSession().getAttribute("username"), 
(String)request.getSession().getAttribute("credentials"));

System.out.println("context retrieved: " + testCtx);

%

jndi:lookup contextRef='testCtx' name='uid=test, ou=people,
o=ecomda.de' id="hmm" / 

!-- doesn't work. the testCtx is not found. The exception is included
below --

 
/body
/html


javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: context not set in a lookup invocation
