I cannot use this approach, since my own tag must define a series of links based on the "state" of the object it is processing. I detail my needs also to get your help on my way of proceeding in such a situation:
I have a page several pages in fact) showing a table of "results" (objects retrieved from the DB). A tipical handling of this is a <logic:iterate> tag that shows each object's properties inside a <tr> element. One of the column I need to show is an "Available Actions" column, which should show an icon with a link to the "action". This set of actions depends generally on the "state" of the object; for example one object may be "deletable" while another would not. So I thought to handle this behavior (on the web tier) by constructing this tag that inspect the object state and generates an img and a link element allowing the user to select only appropriate actions. The code I inserted works fine, but as said by Andrew I feel like I'm playing with fire... So I would have a confirmation that this way of proceeding is quite correct!!

My own tag then processes the result of the other tag. e.g. <mytags:sometag> <html:link/> </mytags:sometag> I don't know if this will help in your situation or not.
