Sorry, from all my understanding, thats just not allowed in XML. Attributes always have to be unique keys. When trying to build "sets" on a "key" I would recommend separate nested tags

<x:DEFINESET>
    <x:ELEMENT val="x"/>
    <x:ELEMENT val="y"/>
    <x:ELEMENT val="z"/>
</x:DEFINESET>

You can make a "public Collection getDefineset()" method in the DEFINESET tag. Then, in the ELEMENT jsp tag class you can lookup its parent (DEFINESET) and call this method to get the Collection of definitions and add any new ELEMENTS to it.

hope this helps some,

Hello,

defining a custom tag "DEFINESET" in a taglib having an
attribute called ELEMENT we want to use this attribute
multiple times as follows:

<x:DEFINESET
ELEMENT = "x"
ELEMENT = "y" ELEMENT = "z"
/>


Deployed in a Tomcat environment this results in multiple
calls of the setter 'setELEMENT'. This allows us to collect
the elements in e.g. a HashSet.

Is this multiple usage of an attribute a legal thing to do?
Or is an attribute expected to be used only once in an element
context? I did not find any information concerning this topic.

Will this work in other servlet containers too?


Thanks in advance,
