I think it is just lack of an implementation.

| 1. What is the return value of the methods doStartTag(), doEndTag()
|    respectively doAfterBody() in the support classes TagSupport and
|    BodyTagSupport?

Note that I had mentioned SKIP_BODY, not SKIP_PAGE.

| 2. How do the implementations of doEndTag() differ in the classes
|    TagSupport and BodyTagSupport?
|

I think you misunderstood my answer.  BodyTagSupports overrides both.
doStartTag() changes value, while doEndTag() just uses its super, so
it has the same value.

| 5. What happend to the method public PageContext getPageContext() in
|    class Tag? Why was it deleted?
|

Maybe a class going and playing with the page context of another
class?

Let me turn it around.  Do you have a specific example for wanting
this information?
