Can u explain more briefly
I don't think I can get any more brief than my original post. Your
issue seems to be that you're unable to use tags from your custom Java
tag. My response was, don't use a custom Java tag. Use a JSP-based tag
instead.
Instead of creating your tag using a Java class, you should create your
tag using a JSP file. Let's say we had a tag called "greeting", and it
took a message key as a parameter. We'll call the parameter "key", for
consistency's sake. The tag would print "Greetings!", followed by a
message from a property. We would create a new file called
"greeting.tag", and place it in the "WEB-INF/tags" directory (the file
looks very much like a regular JSP file):
---[ Start file WEB-INF/tags/greeting.tag ]---
<%@ taglib uri=/tags/struts-bean" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ attribute name="key" required="true" type="java.lang.String" %>
<p>Greetings!</p>
<p>
<bean:message key="${key}" />
</p>
---[ End file ]---
Then we need to use this in our JSP, by importing the whole tags/
subdirectory at the top:
<%@ taglib tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" prefix="mytags" %>
And then later on in the file, we might have something that checks
the time and uses a certain message key when it's morning:
<mytags:greeting key="msg.greeting.morning" />
By using a JSP file instead of a Java file for the tags, you can use
the JSP syntax, the JSTL, all your tags, etc., instead of being stuck
with the Java language and having to embed all your tags (and not be
able to use stuff like <bean:message...> as is within your custom tag).
