But each invocation shouldn't get a different pagecontext? PageContext isn't something related to request's URL? I guess pagecontext's functionality isn't very clear to me...

Yes, but add even more method would make it easier? Maybe just the way the current methods are "defined" in the docs should be changed. If you make it clear that doFinally() is ok for tag reuse cleaning, everybody will use it for this. > But when I made a suggestion like that on the tomcat-dev list, it was > pointed out that JSP 2.0 offers a new SimpleTag interface that will > never be pooled, and is much more straightforward than the "classic tag" > interface.

Tag reusing is so rare to be useful at all?
