http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7392 A body tag without a body doesn't generate correct JSP code Summary: A body tag without a body doesn't generate correct JSP code Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0.3 Final Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Jasper AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] A Taglib body tag that doesn't have a body doesn't execute properly. The generated servlet treats it as an empty tag and doesn't call the doAfterBody method. For example, lets say you have a tag that mimics the HTML input tag where sometimes the tag must be empty and sometimes it must have a body: ex: <custom:input type="select"> <custom:options....> </custom:input> or <custom:input type="submit" value="click me"></custom:input> The second example doesn't generate proper JSP code in the servlet. It only calls the doStartTag method and not the doAfterBody method. A work around is to code it like this: <custom:input type="submit" value="click me"> </custom:input> or <custom:input type="submit" value="click me"/> The first option would be kind of strange to explain to folks using the taglib. The second option is nicer, but it doesn't work in other JSP environments where a body tag must have a body and an empty tag must be empty (Bea Weblogic in particular) and so the generated JSP stops being portable. Also, the syntax <custom:input type="submit" value="click me"></custom:input> worked fine in Tomcat 3. This is a major bug for me because I have a tool that generates JSP code that I will have to rework unless I can get a fix and my choices for what I can generate are limited to the "ugly" option: <custom:input type="submit" value="click me"> </custom:input> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
