Well, I meant "get things ready for your tag", not "clean up after" (as you seem to be implying) and I specifically meant "as opposed to in constructors, instance initialisers, property writers, etc". > But if I use the doEndTag, Shawn says that "doEndTag() is not > necessarily > called at the end of every invocation (in cases of abnormal > termination -- > e.g., an exception thrown inside a tag's body or by one of > its methods)" If you want to clear up after each invocation, I think you want doFinally() method on the interface TryCatchFinally? > But why the release() method isn't called between two uses of > the same tag > ?? > > Is it a performance issue ??? Presumably the release() method is intended to release heavyweight objects used by the tag, so yes.
