EVAL_BODY_TAG deprecated ?

[Madhav Lakkapragada]

Is this true?
Miftah's notes seems to use this but Michell's notes seems to be quoting that it is deprecated.
The API I am using doesn't seem to say anything...
Looking for a response from someone what has finished reading this topic in the JSP 1.2 Spec
Incase, you are following Miftah's notes, pl. be aware of this.

Thanks.

Yes, in JSP 1.2 EVAL_BODY_TAG has been Deprecated. This is due to the confusion it causes. It means something different when returned from the doStartTag and the doEndTag methods. It's been replaced with EVAL_BODY_BUFFERED for use by the doStartTag method and EVAL_BODY_AGAIN for the doEndTag method. The value is the same to allow a taglib to use either but.....

No No No !!!
Madhav,
Don't use the API you are using. It is J2EE API which uses JSP 1.1 not JSP 1.2. I had the same problem and spent two days figuring out why API did not say what was true in notes and specifications.
Go to http://java.sun.com/jsp and download JSP 1.2 docs
Body Tag has EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE now.

Chintan:
Thanks. I found that the Tomcat 4.0 site gives the JavaDoc API for the Servlets 2.3 and JSP 1.2 online.
Not sure how far it is complete. I am assuming that it is fairly authentic.
