Hello, I'm new to Taglibs and I wanted to verify my understanding about the TagExtraInfo.isValid() method. I have a validation rule that requires me to examine the *value* of an attribute on a custom tag. As a simple example, let's say I have this: <mz:SomeTag attrib="xxx"/> If the "attrib" value is "xxx" I want the "isValid()" method to return true, otherwise, return false. So far, so good. But what should I do when the value for "attrib" can be a runtime expression like this: <mz:SomeTag attrib="<%=someVar>"/> In this case the "isValid()" method cannot determine the value of the runtime expression, since "isValid()" is called at translation time. I'm guessing I will have to verify the value of the "attrib" from within the "doStartTag()" method. Am I missing something here? Is there a simple way to examine a runtime attribute from within the "isValid()" method?? Thanks very much, Mari __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
