If you're interested in Beans (and forgive my stupidity here, I'm not much of a Java developer) then you'll need to know some Java, unless you're talking about implementing Beans that have already been written. Beans are class-files, which are compiled Java. The tags you're referring to are simply how you implement the beans within your application (think of CFX tags rather than CFML custom tags)
I'd strongly suggest avoiding the "tag"-only paradigm: while you can build quite a bit using JSP, to harness the true power of Java, you need to architect your solutions using JSP on the front-end, with most of the heavy lifting being done by things like Beans. If you want a quick book overview, pick up the Forta JSP book. --- Billy Cravens -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Karen Harker Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 2:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: JavaBeans and CF Tags What is the difference? I'm being forced (nearly at gun point) to learn Vignette development, which uses JSP and JavaBeans. I could use Java, but JSP "tags" look so much more appealing.

It's just a means of encapsulating logic. Implementation is more complex than that of course. --- Billy Cravens -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Karen Harker Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 1:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: JavaBeans and CF Tags I'm wondering if JavaBeans are similar to CF tags. I'm trying to make sense of some JSP training as our campus implements Vignette. TIA. Karen R.
