Pierre,
what exactly are you trying to do with the database data.
My solution to this stuff tends to be to try and generalize - I've written
tags that will iterate over a RecordSet for example. Often the queries will
be known in advance (you're just pluggin in some parameters) but even if
they're not you can usually exctract enough info from the ResultSet to send
a coherent display back to the client,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
I just wish that your message came to me about four hours ago, I have been
trying to do it over and over unsuccessfully through doInitBody and
doAfterBody methods.
Do you have any suggestions on how can this be accomplished? It is
unrealistic to create 1000+ pages out of the database. The custom syntax for
the database records makes it alot easier to create very complicated HTML
code.
Any help is really greatly appreciated.
Pierre

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,
Kevin
