I've investigated Jelly a bit and want to verify some things. Please let me know if any of my statements below are wrong.
Tags in a Jelly script that are not mapped to a class with <define:jellybean .../> are ignored. Child tag objects can, in their doTag method, locate their parent tag object and invoke methods on it to "push" data up. The simplest way for a child tag object to obtain its parent tag object is DynamicBeanTag parentTag = (DynamicBeanTag) getParent(); Object parentBean = parentTag.getBean(); // At this point a cast is necessary to do anything useful will parentBean. Parent tag objects cannot, in their doTag method, locate their child tag objects and invoke methods on them to "pull" data up. I'm really hoping, I'm wrong about this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A.G.
