This means that when you use the tag file tag in JSP body, The body encloed in the open and end tag can not have scripting elements.

 Sample.jsp
 
<%@ taglib prefix="my" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" %>
<my:tagfiletag>
    Here is the body of tag file. Here you can not use scripting elements 
    in case if tag files, if the body-content is not tagdependent
</my:tagfiletag>
 
   

thanks

it means that i can't do like this?

<my:Header>
<%="Hello"%>
</my:Header>


But i tried the above code and did'nt get any errors.

<%@ attribute name="attr" required="false" rtexprvalue="true" %>
<%@ tag body-content="tagdependent" %>
This is header file.
<jsp oBody/>



Thanks.

Thanks.

Because you set the body-content to tagdependent. If the body content is tagdependent, the body is not interpreted by the container. Try scriptless value, which is default, or remove the tag directive from your tag file. It is surely error.

yes..now it is clear.

so if the body content is 'tagdependent' then we can put anything in the body of a tag.

But whatever you put in the body will treated as plain text.


Thanks.
