I am afraid ur suggestion although well put cannot be used by me. I already
have a EJB interacting with a Oracle8i Server. I am retrieving the interface
to the same thru a JNDI lookup in my Custom Tags. I am supposed to be
displaying the recd object ( currently in the form of a customized class )
in such a way that the designer should be able to decide where what data
comes ( a text-book implementation of the Business-Presentation Logic
Seperation ), exactly in the form i have specified in my original post.
To elborate a bit, my designer should be able to simple write in TAG's like
<%@ include file="taglibinits.jsp" %>
<html>
<table ...>
<biz:Data >
<tr>
<td>Primary Key
<td><%=PK_Value %>
</biz:Data>
</table>
</html>
and produce a table of my Data. Believe me .. my problem is far less
complicated than perhaps i made it sound. All my problem is the Data i am
acquiring in My Tag ( which is perfect !) i should be able to place INSIDE
the Tag and some Data AFTER the Tag finishes.
I hope that clarifies my question a bit
