Hi Shawn thx for your reply. looks like my question was misunderstood. i didnt mean tag nesting in the jsp like
> For instance, suppose you have the text: > > <foo:one> > one-<foo:two />-three > </foo:one> > say <foo:one/> is a simple tag, which connects do a db and prints out some text. the class looks something like this (very simple) public int doStartTag() { JspWriter out = pageContext.getOut(); // connect to the db an read in the text String dbText = bean.getText(); out.print(dbText); return(EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE); } somewhere in the String dbText could be another taglib eg <bar:two/>, completely independend from the outer tag <foo:one/>. and this inner tag wont be evaluated. i dont know, what i have to do with the out stream do reeavaluate it (eg check for a tag or something like this) btw in the tld bodycontent is set to JSP greetings ben -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
