Hi all,

Why is scripting disallowed in the body of simple and classic tag.

From I read in chapter 10, we can set the body content of simple and classic tag to JSP, empty, scriptless or tagindependant in TLD. Furthermore, tag directive can be defined to set the body content of tag file to empty, scriptless or tagindependant.

How come the correct answers to the question are A and C only?

Is the limitation written in the book or just in JSP spec?

Thanks and regards,

Connie

Hi,
I think because simple tags are going to handle the contents of the body as JSP Fragments since scripting is not allowed in JSPFragments it is not allowed in simple tags.But in Classic tags bodycontent object is used to handle the contents so i think JSP is allowed in classic tags.


Please correct me If I am wrong.

I read the API of JSPFragement class and JSPFramenet cannot contain scriptlets and scriptlet expression. Thanks for pointing it out in the previous post.

I will verify whether or not classic tag can handle scriptlet and scriplet expressions in its body some other time.

Thanks.

Can we put body-content as JSP for simple tags?

Please look at this exception...

"The TLD for the class TagTest.FirstTag specifies an invalid body-content (JSP) for a SimpleTag"

Request anyone to clarify.

I saw error message of this nature while coding tags for practice. Is it related to the web container we are using. I am using Tomcat 5.0.28.

Regards,

Connie

I dont think so.....mine is Tomcat 5.0.16.

'JSP' is an invalid body-content for simple tags.

Please confirm this.

Thanks

I tried a simple exercise last night and I could specify JSP body content for classic tag in TLD. I suppose JSP is invalid for simple tag.
