Pierre,

if I understand your question you are asking if a tag can output 'JSP' into
the stream that is further processed by the JSP engine. I would say no. The
JSP page is pre-processed by the JSP engine (including custom tags) and a
servlet produced - the output of that servlet (typically HTML) is sent back
(modulo chaining which is discouraged) to the requesting client - the JSP
engine doesn't see it,

Hi all,

I have a simple question on taglib: can a custom tag generate other custom
tags that will be further processed. The scenareo is the following: read a
request from the user, generate information from the database. The
information is made up in custom tags that also needs to be reinterpreted.

I am thinking that the first tag would be a tag that interprets SQL
statements and then generates data based on other custom tags (for
formatting).

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Pierre
