HTML: <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html" %> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tlds/default.tld" prefix="tt" %> <html> <head> <% String foo = "expression"; %> </head> <body> <tt:tTag var="<%=foo%>" /> </body> </html> TAG SOURCE: package org.tagTest; import javax.servlet.jsp.*; import javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.*; public class ttag extends TagSupport { private String var; public void setVar(String v) { var = v; } public int doEndTag () { try { pageContext.getOut().println(var); } catch(Exception e) { } return EVAL_PAGE; } } TAGLIB DEFS: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <!DOCTYPE taglib PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.1//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd";> <taglib> <tlibversion>1.0</tlibversion> <jspversion>1.1</jspversion> <shortname>tagTest</shortname> <tag> <name>tTag</name> <tagclass>org.tagTest.ttag</tagclass> <attribute> <name>var</name> </attribute> </tag> </taglib> RESULTANT PAGE SOURCE: <html> <head> </head> <body> <%=foo%> </body> </html>
