Outside of frameworks, I am usually guarded about any statement that matches "always do *", especially those related to patterns and subclassing. I often extend SimpleTagSupport (JSP 2.0), and have on occassions, preferred it over BodyTagSupport, due to its simpler life cycle. For a far more detailed commentary, please read the jsp.tagext Javadocs here [ http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/package-summary.html ] -Rahul
