I would like to be able to create a custom tag which is able to use the

tags.

It's a bit messy; the functionality the tags encapsulate isn't exposed
in a way you can access directly. A cleaner alternative if you're using
JSP 2.0 is to use a tag file, which can then just contain standard JSP
to select and invoke the appropriate delegate tag. There are some issues
with doing this currently, which I have a work-in-progress solution to
(see http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33064 for details).

Tag files are a serious option. For example, see composition here [1].
Whatever you do, don't play container. I assure you, you have better
things to do ;-)
Ah, you haven't seen how ugly it can get wrapping the Struts Html tags
in tag files... ;-)
It's definately the way to go for this kind of thing, we just need to
clean up #33064 to make it viable.

I have searched everything I can think of and can't seem to find anything
that can allow this.
Does anyone know a way to approach this?
Thanks,
