Hi all, The release() method can be used to clean Tag state, to release any resources that the Tag was using. Notice that it is up to the Container to call the release() method when seemed fit, so you can't rely on this method being called at any specific time. In theory, this method could be called 12 days after the Tag was used. For this reason, any code that must be executed at the end of the Tag usage should be called from the doEndTag() method.
