Hello all,
I have encountered another possible bug - 0.8.0.
I have created a TagSupport object and an associated TagExtraInfo object. I
have two attributes for the tag - "id" and "url". In the taglib descriptor file
taglib.tld, attribute "id" is set as required, "url" is not required.
In the .jsp file the following works fine:
<test:testtag id="xyz" url="abc" />
However, if I do not specify the optional attribute "url":
<test:testtag id="xyz" />
the following exception is thrown:
=================================
500 Internal Server Error
java.lang.NullPointerException

=================================
No reference to the "url" attribute is made in my TagExtraInfo object.
Once again, if I am doing something wrong, please advise.
Thanks for any help!

this.id = id;
}
public void setUrl( String url ) {
this.url = url;
}
public int doStartTag() throws JspError {
String st = this.url;
pageContext.setAttribute( id, st );
return SKIP_BODY;
}
}
=================TestTagExtraInfo.java=========================

"java.lang.String",

}
} // TurboBufferTagExtraInfo
