tag file - tagdependent and scripting

Hi,
I have sample code as below..

// Header.tag

// test.jsp

I getting "${test} in teh browser but not the scripting ("Hi Viewers How are u?").. Since my body-content is tagdependent, why it is not displaying scripting? I know in HFSJ given "scripting not alowed in the body of the tag files" but what about if said tagdependent - is it not mean body is implementation dependent and processed by tag itself..

Any Idea why it is behaving like this? I am not able to find topics related to this in spec.. Thanks in advance

Thanks
Radmika

Hi Radmika,
When you say <%@ tag body-content="tagdependent" %> the body content is treated like plain text so EL,tags and scripts will not be evaluated. So the El tag ${text} is being printed because it is just treated as normal text.

This code <%= "Hi Viewers How are u? " %> is an expression so it is not being evaluated.

U can also refer HFSJ pg.498 for information on this.

Ranchers correct me if I am wrong.

Hi radmika,
I am sorry. I just realised suddenly that when u say tagdependent everything in the body should be treated as normal text.
So part of my statement is wrong

" So the El tag ${text} is being printed because it is just treated as normal text. "

It should also be ignored. I don't know why it is printing.

The output that you got would be correct if the body-content were scriptless which is the default value.

Hope somebody clears it.

Murali.
