One of the stated goals for JSP custom tags is to make it easy for web page designers to work on JSP pages without having to know Java. Yet, it seems that current visual page editors do not support any way to visually represent custom tags that represent GUI components. Thus, if you add a custom tag like this:
<mytags:grid height="400" width="600"/> to a JSP page, when viewed in design mode nothing appears on the page in the visual editor. This makes it difficult for a web page designer to visually layout a page without resorting to placing a <div> tag (which can then have background colors or borders) around a custom tag for a GUI component with height and width attributes. Are any of you encountering this issue? If so, how are you dealing with it? How do you think this issue should be handled by an IDE? Do you know of any that do?
