RE: Custom Tag Can't Compile problem.

[Blanchard Andrew H (CPOCEUR)]

To be honest, I don't believe a Tag can be implemented as a singleton.
However, you could *use* a singleton class from within your custom-tag and
probably achieve the same effect.  For example,

public int doEndTag() throws JspException {
    MySingleton sing = MySingleton.getInstance();
    sing.doStuff();
    return EVAL_PAGE;
}

Hope this helps.

Its kind of interesting that the custom-tag didn't work without being in a
package.  Like I said, I have never tried it that way.  Hmmm.

Dear Blanchard Andrew H,

   Before, it is /WEB-INF/classes/TagManager.java (
without package ) and it doesn't work. After change,
it is /WEB-INF/classes/tools/TagManager.java ( inside
package tools ) and it works. 

   I have one more question, can Custom Tag Handler (
TagManager.java in this case ) work as singleton ?
