no body-cnotent in a tag

[jyothi sanka]

<tag>
<name>Hello</name>
<tag-class>com.abc.HelloTag</tag-class>
<body-content>empty</body-content>
</tag>

If there is no <body-content> element then what is the result(container throws exception or takes any default value(scriptless or jsp)?

[Praveen Kumar Mathaley]

default value is JSP

[Durgaprasad Guduguntla]

The default value of <body-content> for Classic taghandlers is JSP. What is the default value in case of Simple taghandler? Scripting is not allowed inside the body of the Simple tags right?

It is defaulted to 'scriptless'

There's NO LONGER DEFAULT VALUES for the <body-content> element. According to JSP 2.0 spec page 3-29:
"The default in JSP 1.2 was "JSP" but because this is an invalid setting for simple tag handlers, there is no longer a default in JSP 2.0."

I agree with Jose... There will be a deploy-time error, i guess, if you dont put in a body-content tag

[Jose Esteban]

Sure, it is a mandatory element.

[Praveen Kumar Mathaley]

yes, it's an mandatory element in jsp2.0

thank you...
