Think it in this way. When you write code you find a lot of repeating part
then you take them all off and make a method for it. The same thing for
taglib. When you write JSP you find a lot of that then you can take them off
and put a custom tag there. At least this is one practical reason to
consider a custom tag.
You use JSP language to write tag including all implied object like request,
response... But when you use bean you use it in set/put properties way,
right? A bean is supposed to be friend of JSP and taglib is supposed to be
family member of JSP. But, I never try, all thing if can do by tablib should
also can do by bean.

Subject: Beans vs. Taglibs
Hello all,
I'm new to JSP and would like to know what is the difference between
JavaBeans and custom actions [Taglibs]. Where is it most appropriate to use
beans and where to use tablibs.
In "Java Server Pages" [O'Reilly] Hans Bergsten has written "A custom
action - actually a tag handler class for a custom action - is basically a
bean with property setter methods corresponding to the custom action
element's attributes."
Does this mean that beans and tablibs work the same way?
Rohit.
